Another MDC-T official has passed away as a result of injuries sustained during the violent 2008 election period, which saw ZANU PF launch a brutal attack on opposition supporters and members.

Kwanisai Marapanga Sarai, the MDC-T Youth Chairperson for Ward 15 in Chivi Central, Masvingo province died earlier this week.

On 24 June 2008, Sarai was abducted from his home by ZANU PF youths and taken to a torture base. He was severely assaulted and sustained serious internal injuries.

According to the MDC-T, Sarai was left with significant liver damage, which led to his death this week. He is survived by a wife and two children.

Victims of ZANU PF’s brutality continue to die, three years after the bloody 2008 elections. Not a single perpetrator has been brought to book, and the MDC continues to be the victim of violence, intimidation and harassment, despite the unity government that was formed in 2009.
