According to the source close to this publication, DPP members mocked the woman that shouted at them for failure to address hunger problems that has hit the country.

But reacting to the incident Kabaza Tax operators from Mgona trading center stoned ruling party supporters leaving for critically injured.

“DPP fans that started the fight after being shouted at for the party failure to address current problems. These Kabaza tax operators were just defending an innocent woman who shouted at the party members.
