Zimbabwe politics | Murdered opposition member buried

HARARE - Citizens Coalition for Change leader Nelson Chamisa says the blood of his murdered party member Tapfumaneyi Masaya has not been spilled in vain.

Masaya, a pastor, was on the campaign trail in Mabvuku last week when he was abducted and tortured to death by unknown assailants, believed to be state agents.

He was buried on Saturday.
