2.8.6. Mashonaland West A total of 509 meetings were held in the Province, with 121, 647 people attending meetings. There were problems in the first few meetings as some political players were threatening would be participants to the meetings. However, the Select Committee members supervising the province quickly addressed the issues and subsequent meetings were held in a peaceful manner throughout the Province. The outreach team members faced a lot of challenges ranging from being locked out of Hotels and Lodges to delays in the availability of fuel as well as inadequate resources for meals. The state of roads in some of the Districts caused problems in covering all relevant areas. There were two cases of accidents during outreach in the province but there were no serious injuries. Outreach in the Province was overseen by Hon. Walter Chidakwa and Hon. Editor Matamisa and were assisted by Mr. Christopher Shumba, the Provincial Coordinator together with six District Coordinators from the six Districts in the province. The outcomes of the meetings in the province are clearly indicated in the National and Provincial Statistical reports as annexures to this report. 2.8.7. Masvingo The outreach consultation process started on the 24th of June 2010 and ended on the 28th of September 2010. The outreach was conducted in 234 Wards in the seven Districts of the Province. All in all, 622 meetings were conducted throughout the province. The process was conducted in a peaceful and participatory atmosphere in the whole of the Province. A total of 184 208 people took part in the consultation process with very high attendances in most meetings.
