CHINHOYI – NewsHawks journalist and Young Journalists Association (YOJA) aspiring secretary general Ruvimbo Muchenje has been attacked and beaten up at a CCC rally in Chinhoyi at Gadzema ground.
Muchenje who is a multimedia journalist was trying to find her way into the Stadium and got herself beaten up by Citizens Coalition for Change party security who attempted to block her from entering.
She was forced on to the ground made to roll, leaving her dress torn.
YOJA strongly condemns this barbaric behaviour by CCC supporters and is calling upon the party to issue an apology, and deal with its rogue security members.
As the country prepares for the forthcoming 2023 harmonised elections, political parties are urged to educate their members on the role that the media plays in providing crucial information about their activities and party policies.
YOJA will soon engage CCC and make a police report against these misguided elements.
- Phil Jambaya is the outgoing Secretary General of YOJA
