Zimbabwe Peace Project has reported that 28 Zanu-PF youths defaced NCA posters in Senga high density suburb on 14 June.
"As part of their campaign on behalf of Takudzwa Guzete vying for MP, NCA youths were sticking posters around Senga high density suburb when Zanu PF youths led by Michael ordered the NCA youths to leave Senga," said ZPP.
"The frightened youths abandoned their duty to stick posters and left when the Zanu PF youths became aggressive. Police officers that were in the vicinity did not stop the Zanu PF youths despite the fact that defacing posters is unlawful and can attract
sanctions details in section 152 of the Electoral Act."
ZPP said Guzete said that there are MDC-T youths that have also been accused of defacing NCA posters and a police report will be made once one of them is identified.
"Zanu PF youths, led by Emanuel Kure, allegedly disrupted an MDC-T meeting held at Bernard Nyoni's home in ward 16 Machakata village, Gokwe Mapfungautsi on 20 June. The Zanu PF youths went to Nyoni's home and attacked MDC-T supporters with stones before fleeing after realising that they were outnumbered by opposition party supporters. However, the Zanu PF youths vowed to return in large numbers and are targeting the next MDC-T meeting slated for the 4 July at the same venue," said ZPP.
