Unsettling footage alleged to show the Zanu-PF chairman for Mutasa district fighting with his wife over a five-dollar note that he claims was intended for a beer has surfaced.
The chairman—whose name has not been made public—and his spouse are shown clenching into a fistfight, with both of them clearly bleeding from the lips.
A woman’s voice can be heard in the background, but it doesn’t sound like she’s making any advances in breaking up the fight. The disturbing video raises questions about a more serious problem with domestic abuse and violence.
Many have expressed shock and demanded responsibility in response to the video, with many wondering how a person in a position of authority could act in such a way.

In an interview with Nehanda Radio, Zanu-PF, director of information Farai Marapira, said the ruling party and its leader President Emmerson Mnangagwa do not condone any violence.
“What can be seen in the video is a clear case of domestic violence. As Zanu-PF our policy towards violence of any kind is clear as has been enunciated by His Excellency, President E. D. Mnangagwa time and time again.
“We do not condone any violence and encourage all citizens to adhere to the wisdom of His Excellency in finding peaceful resolutions to disputes of any nature,” he said.
“As a party, we institute our own investigations into any cases of illegality allegedly perpetrated by members.
“As Zanu-PF, our members have an extra obligation to adhere to the dictates of the law. We do condone any such actions and we shall stand guided by police investigations,” Marapira said.
