member disarmed him and is alleged to have him . Another Zanu PF member who
wanted to get to Mr. Tsvangirai was stopped by one of the MDC-T security men.
The chaos worsened as Zanu PF supporters increasingly disrupted the meeting
while MDC-T members fought for the security of their leader. In the end Mr.
Tsvangirai had to end his visit prematurely.
The province recorded incidents of harassment mainly from Zanu PF party activists who
allegedly went around different wards forcing people to join their party. The cases of
harassment recorded in the province emanated from political intolerance at intra and
inter-party levels.
Ø 9 February 2015 - A Zanu PF ward activist Richard Muzembe of Binga South
constituency, Kabuba ward threatened to influence the local authority to fire the
District Development Fund (DDF) Base Supervisor for working with an MDC-T
Councillor of the area. The Councillor had organised and procured fuel for the
District Development Fund (DDF) tractor and lobbied the DDF authority to come
and repair a damaged bridge. That arrangement necessitated the Councillor to
work closely with the DDF Supervisor and that infuriated Muzembe who does not
want any government department to work with MDC-T Councillors. However he
is reportedly meeting with resistance from the people in the area.
Ø 22 February 2015 - Zanu PF ward official John Moyo of Bubi constituency, ward
18 threatened two female Zanu PF members with unspecified action for working
for a top MDC-T official. Moyo accused the two women of being sell-outs as they
were known Zanu PF card carrying members and yet they chose to work for the
MDC-T official.
