Harare Province recorded the highest number of post elections violance. A total of
176 cases were documented from Harare province. These violations culminated
mostly from the violent quelling of the protest march by citizens and the opposition
MDC-Alliance and the subsequent hostile crackdown on opposition supporters by
the military in Harare’s high-density suburbs. Cases of retributive violence against
individuals who acted as MDC-A polling agencies were recorded in Mashonaland
provinces. Bulawayo and the rest of Matebeland provinces were peaceful only one
violation was documented in Bulawayo.

Conclusion
The Forum urges the Government of Zimbabwe to stop all forms of violence
perpetrated on real and perceived supporters of the opposition political parties. It
must further act to restore its commitment to peace and the rule of law by bringing to
account all perpetrators of violence regardless of their affiliation.
