Bindura and Mount Darwin South Border Gezi, Saviour Kasukuwere, Paddington Zhanda, Pindirire, John Karicoga, Terry Marodza, ‘John’, Comrade Satan, Joyce Mujuru and John Chiteve What follows is an account given by Elliot Pfebve, the MDC Candidate for Bindura, who narrowly avoided numerous attempts on his life in the run-up to the 2000 elections. He recounts a specific incident in which Zanu (PF) and MDC youth by the hundreds clashed and were only stopped by the intervention of the army who arrived in a helicopter. Former Zanu (PF) Bindura MP Border Gezi is implicated as a key figure in these acts of violence. Mr Pfebve tells of the violent atmosphere in Bindura during the campaign and the lengths to which Zanu (PF) supporters, CIO members and war veterans were prepared to go to disrupt the MDC’s ability to campaign. ‘Zulu’, an MDC organiser, has also given an account of attempts on his life and mentions a letter issued by Zanu (PF) Mt. Darwin North MP and Acting Defense Minister Joyce Mujuru that offered $25 000 for his murder. This letter found its way across the border to Mozambique where police there were aware of the reward.
