An opposition party in Zimbabwe says its leader and several other party members were attacked yesterday.

The National People’s Party leader says Joice Mujuru and others were assaulted as they tried to hold a political rally.

Mujuru, a former vice-president for Zanu-PF, is challenging her former party for the presidency. The country is expected to hold elections in June, and President Emmerson Mnangangwa has promised to deliver a poll that is free.

A party spokesman said at least eight people including Mrs Mujuru were injured, although her injuries were not serious.
