In an incident recorded in Mazowe Central at Kanhukamwe business center ward 9, Zimbabwe Human Rights Association (ZimRights) member Honest Makonese was intimidated by Zanu-PF youths during a meeting with villagers in the area recently.
Zimbabwe Peace Project in its latest reported said the meeting was hosted to raise human rights awareness and membership recruitment when a gang of ZanuPF youths led by Brian Jonga arrived at the venue, disrupting the proceedings.
"They accused Makonese of trying to influence regime change and encouraging villagers to vote for opposition parties. They pushed him around and threatened to assault him if they saw him conducting meetings in the area again. An official from ZimRights confirmed that Makonese is a member of the organisation's national council and that ZimRights was looking into the issue," reported ZPP.
