A Zanu PF activist in Lupane's Gomoza area reportedly forced villagers at a funeral to chant party slogans and sing political songs.

Zimbabwe Peace Project reported that the rogue activists disrupted the funeral gathering recently.

"At a funeral of war veteran Jorum Sibanda, Zanu PF supporters disrupted the gathering and began forcing individuals to chant party slogans saying that they were preparing people for the presidential youth interface rally to be held on 14 July," said ZPP.
 
"While the funeral proceedings were underway on 28 June, it is said that
Zanu PF youth activists led by Mbongeni Mpofu and Chapuka Mudenda from Gomoza ward in Lupane Weststood up and began forcing mourners to sing and chant party slogans."

ZPP said Mpofu and Mudenda also ordered youths to attend the youth rally without fail.
