Watching a football match at Makoni Shopping Centre turned fatal for a 41-year-old walking home afterward. Kelvin Bhonzo, from Ward 25 in Chitungwiza North, absorbed machete and brick blows from men whom witnesses tag as ZANU PF supporters, apparently over his stance rejecting CAB 3.
Chitungwiza Hospital handled him first, CitiMed took over later, and his injuries eventually finished the job after weeks of treatment. Nelson Chamisa labeled it political murder flat out, honoring him as a Citizen Volunteer and Citizens Hero while passing condolences to the family.
Tendai Biti's Constitution Defenders Forum leaned into the legal angle instead. Section 48 makes life untouchable, they argue, and letting anybody kill with impunity shreds that guarantee alongside Zimbabwe's international commitments. Their ask is a quick, independent probe ending in real prosecutions.
Two other names surfaced in the same breath. Police chasing information on MaDzibaba veShanduko shortly following his acquittal, and Bhekimpilo Mbedzi sitting behind bars merely for voicing protest intentions. Biti's group reads both situations as law enforcement getting weaponized against anyone who disagrees loudly.
