Chamisa demands compensation for MDC Alliance duo
BY MOSES MATENGA
OPPOSITION MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa yesterday demanded that government should compensate party activists Last Maengahama and Tungamirai Madzokere, who clocked eight years at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison for a murder charge which was quashed by the Supreme Court last week.
Maengahama and Madzokere were arrested in Glen View, Harare, in 2011 on a charge of killing a police officer Petros Mutedza.
Chamisa yesterday visited the pair, where he said government should also compensate victims of Gukurahundi massacres and the 2005 Operation Murambatsvina that rendered thousands homeless. “There is a need for them to be compensated. If it was a normal country, the government should just come and compensate them. If this government can’t do that, the MDC Alliance government will compensate and apologise to them.

MDC ALLIANCE president Nelson Chamisa has promised to compensate party activist Last Maengahama with a party position following the latter’s nightmarish eight-year jail stay for a murder offence he has since been acquitted for.
Maengahama, together with Tungamirai Madzokere, were acquitted Friday by the Supreme Court after spending jail time on false accusations they were actively involved in the 2011 gang murder of police Inspector Petros Mutedza by MDC activists.
“We will do everything to make sure that the 8 years that slowed down all your plans are recovered.
“We will not say much but we will try our best with our limited circumstances,” Chamisa said during a visit to the Maengahama family in Harare’s Glen View high density suburb Tuesday afternoon.
