Civil servants forced to join Zanu PF

Zanu PF members are reportedly forcing some civil servants to join the party in order to save their jobs.

This was revealed by the Zimbabwe Peace Project through its report indicating that in another development some civil servants have been forcibly absorbed into Zanu PF party structures against their will.

"In Manicaland province Anthony Machingauta a teacher at Ngandu Primary and also a Zanu PF branch chairperson of ward 15, Chimanimani East forced fellow teachers and civil servants into joining and taking active positions in Zanu PF at a restructuring meeting that took place on 20 February 2015 at the Council Boardroom. One of the victims was given the post of cell chairperson," reads the report. "In a separate incident Hurungwe East legislator Sarah Mahoka is reported to have invited all school heads both from primary and secondary schools in Hurungwe East to a dinner party at Tengwe Country Club on 6 February 2015. At the party Honourable Mahoka indicated that school heads should ensure good relations with teaching staff in the constituency."

ZPP indicated that she however stressed the point that all the teachers in the constituency should support Zanu PF and its programmes and that those who do not support Zanu PF will be dealt with.

Zanu PF is reportedly already strategizing for the 2018 elections in which all its violent and un democratic practices are aimed at making it win the election by all means possible.
