A member of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), Moreblessing Ali, who was abducted two weeks ago by suspected Zanu PF activists, has allegedly been found dead.
In a message posted on his Facebook wall, journalist Hopewell Chin'ono said, "They killed Moreblessing Ali. Her body was found in a well in Nyatsime. And they wonder why Zimbabweans say they are worse than Ian Smith!"
Police spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi was unreachable for comment as he was not responding to calls on his mobile phone. Nyathi recently issued a statement in which he said Ali was believed to be in the hands of her former boyfriend, who was not happy that she had dumped him.The boyfriend was also unreachable for comment.
Reacting to news that Ali’s body has been allegedly found in a well, CCC spokesperson Fadzai Mahere, said, “We are carrying out a verification process before delivering any news. Please bear with us as we complete the process so that any information that comes out is factually accurate.”
A CCC member in Nyatsime, who requested not to be named in fear of being victimized, said he witnessed the recovery of the deceased's body from a well.
"It's a deep well at the suspect's homestead. Police and some people wearing white coats came here and retrieved the body. There were two body bags and a plastic bag containing body parts. We are still shocked about what we saw," he said.
He is among CCC members that have, since the formation of the opposition party, been allegedly intimidated and harassed by the suspect.
"We all know that he is a Zanu PF member and does what he likes here," he said.
In a message posted on Facebook a few hours before news broke out that Ali's body had been allegedly found in a well, CCC leader Nelson Chamisa posed a question asking the nation about her whereabouts. The following messages were posted on his Facebook page thread.

Where are we going as citizens.. Why are we allowing this to happen under our watch. If we do not protect each other as citizens against this blood thirst regime we will die 1 by 1.. Why don't we create our own safety organizations group to deal with this issues.. Sympathy after sympathy is not helping us. Yes it's not working.. Police is waste of time. Leaders please your words of sympathy are not enough to protect us. Do something guys

Those people who are doing this evil are living among us. We share everything with them. There must be a strategy to avoid this unnecessary loss of life among the Citizens. Rise Zimbabweans Rise
