Kenny Machekete, aged 66, of Chipatsura School, Marange
Kenny’s wife was seen celebrating MDC victory in the March 29 elections. In addition, they did not attend the rallies organised by the Zanu PF chefs before the run off. During the week before the run off sixty people came to his home.
Kenny recognised the following; Cone Mhuruyengwe, Farai Tetiwa, someone with surname of Chitakatira, who was the boss of the group aged about thirty years and a known, active Zanu PF supporter in the area. They took Kenny to their base at Chipatsura School.
They beat him and took a shovel with burning ashes out of the fire and put his feet on them. When the ashes cooled they repeated the process. They then warned him that they would kill him if he did not return to the base every day to report to show that he was now a Zanu PF supporter.
The group returned to his home after they had tortured him and destroyed his one acre of tomato seedlings which was his livelihood. No food was stolen but others in his area had food stolen.
