Chikwaya village on 22 April 2015 threatened to expel a fellow supporter from
the party for his support for the gamatox.
In Chiredzi, Osbert Ngwena a Zanu PF member has from 12 April 2015 been
pushing and mobilizing other Zanu PF members to oust Ward 3 Councillor
because of his close links with the gamatox that include former Provincial
Chair Calisto Gwanetsa and former Minister Dzikamai Mavhaire.
The election fever gripped the Harare province in the month of April 2015 as candidates
campaigned for the vacant seats left by former MDC- T legislators those who were
expelled from Parliament. Most of the campaigns were carried out by Zanu PF and a
few independent candidates. There are reports of intraparty conflict in Zanu PF in
Highfield West as some Zanu PF supporters feel that Psychology Mazivisa is being
imposed on them. Zanu PF supporters loyal to the losing candidate in the Highfield
West primary elections Emmanuel Juta marched to the Harare Provincial offices on 7
April 2015 against Psychology Mazivisa. People questioned why he was allowed to
campaign on television for primary elections. They feel that Jonathan Moyo and Patrick
Zhuwao are behind his candidature. The demonstrators were not addressed.
In the month of April MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai had a series of rallies when he
tried to justify the party position of not contesting the vacant seat. He indicated that
there should be electoral reforms to ensure free and fair elections. The turnout during
the Tsvangirai rallies in Glen View, Kambuzuma and Mabvuku –Tafara was high. On 19
April 2015Morgan Tsvangirai also addressed another rally in Mabvuku –Tafara at Old
Tafara hall. Zanu PF supporters moved up and down during this rally and tried in vain to
provoke the MDC T supporters.
