ZPP concerned over internal Strife

Zimbabwe Peace Project has reported that there is serious internal strife in Zimbabwe which it discribed as a cancer in Zimbabwe's Main Political Parties Both the ruling Zanu-PF and the main opposition parties continue to be riddled with internal turmoil.

"For Zanu-PF the restructuring exercise which began earlier this year following the purge of former Vice President, Joice Mujuru, and those sympathetic to her across the board, has served to illuminate the internal fissures that exists within the revolutionary party. Divisions are rife and conflict often results in outright physical violence. Many districts across the width and breadth of the country are battling this internal strife," reads the organisation's monthly report.

"MDC-T is also not free from internal strife, with the fear for the democratic movement always being whether or not it will splinter again. Conflict around specific personalities persists much to the threat of unity within the party.

Unless and until the parties have considerable unity of purpose and basic tolerance for diversity, peace within their movements will always be at threat."
