Bikita East lands officer names withheld have been confronted by the ruling Zanu PF officials in the area who accused him of allocating land to the MDC-T official.

According to Zimbabwe Peace Project, on 1 April 2016, a district lands officer for Bikita (East) was accused of allocating land to MDC-T members.

"The accusers who include Mashanda Nyangare and Victor Rungani of Zanu-PF allegedly approached the victim at his work place at Nyika Centre and demanded that he tenders a resignation letter for corruptly allocating land without clearance from Zanu-PF. The actors threatened to physically deal with the victim if he refused to resign," ZPP said.

On another incident on 2 April 2016, in Bikita West Ward 13, there was a ward meeting where the councillor was informing people to list people in need of food aid.

One, Peter Makova (Zanu-PF) stood up and allegedly said that only Zanu-PF members should access the food.

"Any opposition party member who needed to be considered for the food should first of all surrender by bringing for destruction party regalia and affiliation cards, Makova said.
