A Zanu PF youth officer, Henry Kachepa is alleged to be forcing youths in Mudzi North at Chigwell Farm ward 24 to contribute a dollar each towards a Zanu PF youth gala.

Zimbabwe Peace Project reported that it is alleged that Kachepa is using force and threats to collect money as he intends to throw a Zanu PF gala In Mudzi North.

"Youths in the area have complained about the exercise arguing that they cannot afford. Residents in Wedza North constituency are allegedly being forced to contribute 50 cents towards the rally on 2 June 2017 when the President interfaces with the youth. It is alleged that Wedza Member of Parliament, David Musabayana, Senator Rosemary Goto and the District Administrator Kenneth Shumba revealed that they were given a target of $10 000 to contribute as a district to ensure smooth running of the rally," said ZPP.

"A full council meeting was held in Wedza North on 13 May in the council boardroom to map a strategy for the collection of the funds."

When called for comment, Senator Goto said she was in no position to confirm or deny fundraising and said these are preparations being undertaken by herself and others on behalf of Zanu PF as a party.
