{{Residents of Matimba zone in Rwezamenyo Cell are bitter at their Executive secretary accused of brutally punishing residents suspected of committing minor mistakes.}}
Last Friday, two residents including Zuzu and Mukandutiye Zura were seriously beaten by the area executive secretary on suspicion that they were sex workers.
The area is located at Rwezamenyo I Cell, Rwezamenyo sector in Nyarugenge district
Last Friday when Munyaneza Jacques the Cell executive secretary was passing near Matimba centre, suspected sex-workers took off on their heels to avoid being apprehended.
Previously the executive secretary had promised to get rid of sex-workers in the area.
On Friday it had been reported to the cell authorities that a man had lost his money to a sex worker at Matimba it wasn’t established whether this man had been in company with a sex worker.
This prompted the Executive secretary to reach the site and suspected sex workers ran away immediately and entered a building where they rent.
However, the leader also ordered other female residents in the area to lay down and beat them up including Zuzu and Mukandutiye Zura.
This prompted intervention from Zuzu’s mother who questioned the leader about why he was beating her child. Zuzu was set free.
Mukandutiye managed to escape but the executive secretary ordered night patrol (Irondo) squad to chase her and bring her back. She was beaten in yet again but the residents intervened and forced the executive secretary to stop beating her.
