A Gokwe teacher is in hot soup after he refused to attend Zanu PF victopry celebrations, the Zimbabwe Peace Project has reported.
ZPP said on 5 November 2015, a teacher at Kasuwe Primary Ward 12 Gokwe Sesame, was verbally harassed and branded an MDC supporter by Gift Mudhina, a Zanu-PF youth leader, after he refused to attend Zanu-PF victory celebrations. On the day, people including teachers were force marched to the venue of the celebrations Kasuwe Primary by the actor.
"The victim refused to attend the celebrations citing lack of interest as the major reason. The refusal infuriated the perpetrator who responded by calling the victim a ‘traitor." ZPP reported.
In another report ZPP said on 26 November 2015 in Gokwe Chireya, there was an MDC-T meeting at Mutora Business Centre where intra-party violence came to the fore.
"The meeting had been called by the provincial leadership, in an effort to deal with party internal disagreements," ZPP. "At the meeting, Chengetai Dzikamunhenga allegedly stood up and demanded the resignation of Kizito Chimhembe from the chairperson position because of his close ties with Zanu-PF. Chimhembe responded by saying that he was being crucified because some colleagues suspected he was advancing the Nelson Chamisa agenda of wrestling power from Tsvangirai."
ZPP said he further said that he lawfully elected and would not throw in the towel before completion his term.
"Chamisa, legislator for Kuwadzana is said to be leading a faction against Tsvangirai. The two have, however, since denied there are factions in the party," ZPP said.
