The opposition MDC-T is reported to have experienced intra party violence on 18 April 2015 in Ward 4 Ruwa, Goromonzi South where a former Councillor was assaulted by Davison Chamisa and Pepukai Gwangwari. Factions have developed in the area as the party prepares for 2018 elections. The assaulted Councilor was against the campaign for Shadow MP Milton Mhene as he supports Wilfred Tanga as the 2018 candidate. The difference in choice of candidates led to violence which left the victim with minor injuries that were treated at Ruwa rehabilitation hospital while the perpetrators were detained at a police station and released after a day.
