Zimbabwe’s opposition says youngest lawmaker abducted, tortured
An opposition lawmaker in Zimbabwe was kidnapped, tortured and dumped naked on a sideroad on Wednesday, his party said, as political tensions in the country show no sign of abating after a disputed election.
Takudzwa Ngadziore, 25, was seized by armed men near his home in the capital, Harare, as he was heading to parliament in the morning, according to the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC).
Ngadziore, Zimbabwe’s youngest MP, managed to live stream the moments before his alleged abduction on social media.
In the short clip, the distressed, tie-wearing politician is seen looking into the camera saying “I’m being followed” in the local Shona language, before showing a Kalashnikov-wielding man in a black cap running towards him.
Ngadziore was found hours later naked, his body covered by cuts, some 40 kilometres (25 miles) away near the small town of Mazowe, a friend who went to pick him up and asked to remain anonymous.
