Elisha Chirimuimba, residing at Zhombwe Primary
School P Box 146 Murehwa is also aspiring
counsellor for MDC Alliance.
Two-year old Professor Lumbe was found dead in
Sunridge farm in a case of suspected politically
motivated violence. The parents of the child believed
that Professor Lumbe’s killing was politically
motivated and there exist evidence of political rivalry
and tensions involving the father a member of the
National People’s Party (NPP) and ZANU-PF
supporters. When Mr. Lumbe defected to NPP from
ZANUPF he was warned by some ZANU-PF
supporters that ‘munopedza mhuri’ (you risk having
the whole family killed) for supporting NPP.
