An opposition party in Zimbabwe says its leader and several other party members were attacked today.
The National People's Party leader says Joice Mujuru and others were assaulted with rocks as they tried to hold a political rally.
Joice Mujuru, a former vice-president for governing 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 and without violence.
He is facing the biggest test on his commitment to democracy.
Today, The National People's Party say they came under a surprise attack while out campaigning in a south western suburb in Harare.
Rocks and bricks were thrown at them, and they said they believe their attackers are members of the ruling Zanu-PF party.
A party spokesman told the BBC that at least eight people including Mrs Mujuru were injured, although her injuries were not serious.
Neither the police nor the ruling party were available to comment.
