Zanu-PF unleashes reign of terror

Zanu PF supports are allegedly chasing away political opponents from open spaces, car parks and home industries in Harare, saying they now control the capital after the party won five parliamentary by-elections last week.

The reports came at a time several losing candidates complained that Zanu-PF supporters were harassing them even after the ruling party won all the 16 Parliamentary by-elections countrywide.

According to the Newsday, in one incident, the skirmishes were allegedly started on Monday after Zanu-PF youths invaded car park business in Dzivarasekwa and erected a banner written "Zanu-PF youth league development area".

In other constituencies it was alleged that the winning Zanu PF candidates moved around carrying coffins during their celebrations.

Heal Zimbabwe also expressed concern over continued cases of intimidation in Hurungwe West, days after the June 10 by-elections.
