MDC MP, Prosper Mutseyami says he was attacked with a steel pipe and passed out as violence continued to rock the party's primary elections.

Mutseyami has swapped Musikavanhu constituency for Dangamvura-Chikanga in a move that did not go down well with a camp loyal to MDC-T women’s assembly boss Lynette Karenyi, who is eyeing the same constituency.

“I was attacked from behind;I was hit right on the back of my head. I think I was attacked with a steel pipe, if it was a solid one I could have sustained serious injuries. We could be talking of something else. I am lucky to be alive,” he told the Manica Post.

“I passed out and fell headlong. I regained consciousness after about 10 minutes. I fell heavily on hard surface, and because the fall was uncontrollable, I got injured on my right hand. I also sustained some lacerations on my face and knees.’’

Mutseyami said he has since made a police report and investigations were in progress.
He said his assailants should pay for their transgressions.

“The best thing is that whoever was involved should account for their actions and be made to divulge their motive. This is the process that is taking place, and it requires a lot of patience and thoroughness. So I will not say much until the process is over, otherwise I will jeopardise investigations. I am out of hospital, getting better, but not yet well,” said Mutseyami.
