Several MDC supporters and their families have been arrested following the death of a policeman after violence erupted in Glen View. The MDC claim that its supporters were arrested on the 30th March before police made any investigations into the matter.

In another report, no assailants have been picked up yet for the homes that were burnt three months ago in Cashel Valley Manicaland, despite the victim's claim that they know the culprits. The victims are said to be MDC supporters and the suspected perpetrators are staunch ZANU PF supporters. To date, the victims are still housed at the MDC Manicaland offices as they have nowhere to go.

Meanwhile, ZANU PF continues to advocate for elections to be held this year. ZANU PF National Chairman Simon Khaya Moyo is reported to have synthesized the call during a meeting with Dutch ambassador to Zimbabwe Barbra Joziasse. It has been reported that Moyo revealed that there is need to got for elections because MDC policies and ZANU PF polices are parallel.

In a case believed to be a reaction to the call for elections, there are reports that MDC youths supporters in Muzvezve are now living in fear following allegations that ZANU PF MP Peter Harritatos is coercing people to attend his rallies which he started as part of his campaign
