MILITANT pro-government war veterans have stoned and looted the home of opposition lawmaker Willias Madzimure, he said on Thursday. “Yesterday in parliament, I was phoned to be told the house was being stoned,” Madzimure, of Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), said. “By the time I arrived, they had been stoning the house without the police even coming to stop them.” More than 100 self-styled war veterans threw bricks, stones and bottles at Madzimure’s home in the township of Kambuzuma near Harare’s industrial side, he said. His child’s nanny and a neighbour who tried to defend his home were both injured in the attack. The nanny had to slip his 11-month-old son across a fence into a neighbor’s home so the baby could escape injury, he said. The war vets also broke down his gate and threw a petrol bomb at his home, but it failed to go off, Madzimure said. – AFP
