Zanu PF activists in Chikanga/Dangamvura, areas of Sakubva high density suburb, Devonshire ward 16 recently forced informal settlers to join Zanu PF cell structures.

This was reported by Zimbabwe Peace Project which stated that at Chikanga/Dangamvura constituency legislator Esau Mupfumi told all informal settlers to join a Zanu PF cell in preparation for the 2018 elections.

"One victim who was forced to join Zanu PF, Godfrey Mukungatu said that they were going to comply with Mupfumi's orders since they were in desperate need of stands and Zanu PF is the only party, which can protect them if they comply with its demands," said ZPP.

"It is alleged that these informal settlements have residents living in appalling conditions and almost 1500 people stay in these informal settlements. It was also alleged that Mupfumi further stated that these families were a no go area for anyone else beside Zanu PF."

ZPP said the families were asked to report anyone seeking to address or mobilise them.
