The Zimbabwe Peace Project has reported that there are at least three ruling party offices within Mbare Musika.
The organisation said these offices are used as party bases by the ruling party youths.
"In Koffman Plot where a liquor store was attacked a few weeks ago there is a Zanu-PF office nearby. Ruling party youths declared the area a no go area for MDC-T supporters. There is no other political party that has an office in the area except the ruling Zanu-PF," said ZPP.
The party activists always reportedly force residents to attend party meetings.
ZPP said registers are kept at cell level and those who do not attend
party sanctioned events risk losing their trading spaces.
"During President Mugabe's million men march (2016) event traders were also forced to close shop and attend the event. Cell meetings are also regularly held at Mbare musika and traders are required to attend," said ZPP.
