Mugabe Supporter Kills MDC Activist

Two weeks after the election in Zimbabwe and still no election results.

You know where this is headed already.

Well, now it's taken a violent turn, though police claim the killing may not have been political.

Zimbabwe's burgeoning political crisis has claimed its first victim, an opposition activist stabbed at his homestead by members of Robert Mugabe's party.

The main opposition, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), confirmed the man's death as it called today for a general strike after losing a High Court bid to force the immediate release of results from the presidential election two weeks ago.

"We are sad to inform you that we have lost one of our members...who passed away on Saturday after being stabbed by Zanu-PF supporters at his homestead," Thokozani Khupe, the MDC vice-president, told reporters.

Police said that the killing did not appear to be political.

Huh?

I guess he just backed into the knife.
