Community members live in perpetual fear. The effects of Zanu PF intra-party fights keep surfacing as evidenced by a low turnout witnessed in Hwedza North when Minister of State in Mashonaland East Province Biggie Matiza held a meeting at Hwedza Centre on 17 February 2015. Only 7 out of 16 councillors and 3 chiefs out of 12 attended the meeting. Most people believe the expected audience was not happy with the demotion of the former Minister of State Mashonaland East Province Simbaneuta Mudarikwa. The province also recorded incidents of discrimination in food and input distribution. Zanu PF uses discrimination as a way of punishing those who are not loyal to the party. Despite these sporadic incidents of political intolerance it should be noted that the MDC-T party successfully held its meeting on 20 February 2015 at Suswe in Mudzi West constituency and there was a huge turnout.
