#2008 runoff was brutal.

Kasukuwere led and sponsored most of the terror gangs that operated in Mashonaland Central. On the 5th May 2008, he organized and ferried a group of over 300 youths to Chaona, Mazowe where a lot of people were seriously injured and six people were killed

Those killed included Tapiwa Meda, Alex Chiriseri, Joseph Madzuramhende, David Tachiwa Mapuranga, Patson Madzuramhende and Joseph Jemedze. The youths were wearing Kasukuwere’s campaign t-shirts and were assisted by uniformed soldiers under the command of Major Cairo Mhandu.

Eight days later the same mob led by Kasukuwere went on another rampage, killing MDC-T supporters Fischer Chitese, Bright Mafuriro and Sairiro Kamufuto. On the 19th May the group struck again, killing activist Phanuel Mubaira. Kasukuwere directed the violence actually took part.

On the 25th March 2000 Kasukuwere, then still a ZANU PF candidate for Mount Darwin Constituency, organised a 200 strong gang of youths and war vets at Madondo Hotel. Armed with a list of addresses of known MDC-T supporters they went door to door beating up their targets.

After this raid many victims showed wounds and bruises on the face and all over the body. Assisting Kasukuwere in launching these raids was a war vet known as Jacob Juma. The next month in April the gang plotted to kill an MDC chairman in Mount Darwin known as Taurai from Nembire

Under the cover of darkness, @kasukuwere youths went to Taurai’s homestead, surrounded it and set it on fire. Taurai fell into the hands of zanu youths who used an axe to hack him all over the body. Although left him for dead he was saved by a neighbour who took him to hospital.

On the same day Kasukuwere led a large group of youths he had ferried into Mount Darwin from Chitungwiza and directed them to attack another MDC chairman known as Tawanda, who was badly beaten and had to be rushed to  hospital.

Not satisfied with beating Tawanda up, the following day Kasukuwere’s gang destroyed Tawanda’s home and burnt his car to ashes. Although the matter was reported to the police, officers at the camp said they could not do anything because Kasukuwere was involved.

13th April 2000, 300 MDC supporters tried to hold a rally in Mt Darwin. @Kasukuwere ordered police to mount roadblocks and turn back everyone attending. The defiant MDC supporters fought their way through the roadblock of police who were being helped by of ZANU youths and warvets
