THERE was mayhem at Mkoba One High School in Gweru when a MDC-T celebrations party turned ugly after party youths allegedly engaged in a fist fight over beer. MDC-T aspiring Member of Parliament for Mkoba, Mr Amos Chibaya, had thrown a party after winning primary elections. Drunken youths who probably had taken one too many, later exchanged blows.
Mr Chibaya confirmed that he hosted a party in Mkoba at the weekend but said he was not aware of the clashes.
“Yes, I hosted a party in which I was celebrating winning the right to represent the party in Mkoba constituency for another term. There was a lot of beer and meat. I slaughtered two beasts and the beer was plenty and I don’t know of the clashes which are being alleged.
If there was any fight, it had nothing to do with the shortage of beer because there was plenty. People could have fought because they were drunk,” he said.
Sources, however, said the clashes arose after the youths could not agree on how to share beer to take home after the party.
“The youths could not agree on how to share the beer which they wanted to take home. The fight then broke out and later it degenerated into running battles as the youths threw stones at each other,” said a witness.
The witness said the clashes were not reported to the police hence noone was arrested.
