Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU) Secretary General, Beloved Chiweshe and Munjodzi Mutandiri, former Students Union President of Chinhoyi University of Technology (CUT) were abducted at 1800 hours yesterday and allegedly tortured by state agents.

The two were discussing the state of nation in regard to the continued astronomical hike of prices and services with other colleagues in a Southerton bound Emergency Taxi (ET) when a suspected state agent diverted the ET to Southerton Police Station where they were identified as wanted individuals. Upon disembarking from the ET, they were hauled into a pick up truck and drove to a place near Irvines Farm Produce along Masvingo road.

Chiweshe and Mutandiri were then thrown into a small sewer discharge river, forced to drink sewer water and allegedly tortured by the police. They were also forced to do 83 press ups ‘for President Robert Mugabe’s age’ and 27 ‘for Zimbabwe’s sovereignty'. Munjodzi collapsed as a result of the gruesome torture he suffered at the hands of the police and state agents.

Beloved Chiweshe was further assaulted for failing to reveal the whereabouts of George Vengai Murazvu his campaign manager and political advisor during the Student Unions leadership elections. George Murazvu has been a vocal and resiliant student activist whose life was under threat after a series of anonymous threatening calls from suspected state security agents. George and Beloved have been subjected to police harrasment and torture perpetrated by the rogue regime of Robert Mugabe. George's whereabouts is a mistery.

The police then drove off with Chiweshe and Munjodzi’s jackets, shoes, mobile phones and wallets containing cash amounting to Z$3 million alleging that it was Tony Blair’s money. The two leaders were left for dead in the river and tried to look for help in neighbouring areas.

They were later found by the ZINASU Programmes Officer, Benjamin Nyandoro after searching for almost two hours. Chiweshe and Munjodzi are currently receiving medical attention.
