Mass intimidation in Murehwa West constituency
Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP)
November 14, 2012

Mashonaland East - ZANU-PF activists led by Abrom Nyamande and Forbes Gwara - an aspiring Councillor, yesterday (13 November 2012) force - marched villagers from Ward 26 Murehwa West Constituency to attend a meeting at Chizanga business centre.

Addressing the meeting, the two threatened villagers with death if they supported, campaigned or associated in any way with the MDC parties. They told villagers their party would bring militias from outside the area in December who would kill all those who fail to attend ZANU-PF meetings.

They promised to make the current ward councillor Passmore Mangwiro of the MDC-T an example by making him disappear.

They then instructed all headmen to mark registers of people who attend ZANU-PF meetings from now on and pass on the message to their subjects

Meanwhile in Masvingo, a former Zimbabwe Republic Police [ZRP] Officer who left the force in January 2012 after being victimized for allegedly supporting MDC-T, was arrested this morning and taken to Zaka. ZPP had not yet found out the charge by the time of sending out this alert.
