Zanu PF has embarked on a process to rebuild party structures and the party has been
holding meetings in all constituencies in an effort to purge the party of supporters
perceived to belong to former VP Joice Mujuru’s cabal. The exercise has not been easy
as most of the meetings have been poorly attended. In response to the poor
attendance party activists resorted to forcing people to attend their meetings.
Ø 12 March 2015 - In Makoni South, Murumbi village Ward 23, Zanu PF members led
by Peter Tenha and Constance Macheka embarked on a door to door
campaignwith the objective of using whatever means to recruit and rebuildthe
party lower level structures Some of those who refused to join the party
structures were labelled sell-outs. An MDC-T activist was one of the victims.

Zanu PF is on a drive to restructure at cell and branch level and has been having
meetings across the provinces. Due to poor attendance at these restructuring meetings
there have been reports of incidents of harassment, people being forced to attend
meetings. There were also reports of Zanu PF activists forcing people to contribute
towards the independence day celebrations. MDC-T in-fights have been reported and
these are emanating from the strained relations between party activists who have
moved on to join MDC Renewal Team and those who remained in the MDC-T party.
