A troubling video has gone viral, showing the Zanu-PF chairman of Mutasa district in a physical altercation with his wife. The reported cause? A measly $5 meant for beer.

The graphic footage depicts a disturbing scene: both the chairman and his spouse are visibly injured and bleeding. The incident, far from a simple argument, highlights the deeper issue of domestic violence in Zimbabwe.

Zanu-PF has been quick to condemn their member’s actions. Farai Marapira, the party’s information director, emphasized their zero-tolerance policy for violence, echoing President Mnangagwa’s firm stance.

“This is a clear case of domestic violence,” Marapira declared. “Zanu-PF opposes all forms of violence, and we urge everyone, including our own members, to resolve conflicts peacefully.”

The party promises a full investigation and complete cooperation with law enforcement. They reiterated that members are held to a high standard and will face repercussions based on the official probe’s findings.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle against domestic violence in Zimbabwe. It underscores the importance of taking swift action to address this critical issue.
