 MDC-T Mbare candidate Sten Zvorwadza was attacked together with a BBC crew that was covering his campaign in the volatile suburb.
Although he escaped uninjured and reported the attack at the local police station, no report was taken and the Zanu-PF supporters who attacked him while campaigning for a "Yes" vote in the referendum are still free.
