Suspected soldiers are reported to have settled at Hwedza growth point in what the people suspect is a move aimed at identifying villagers linked to the former Vice President Joice Mujuru's Zimbabwe People First party.
Zimbabwe Peace Project reported that on 13 January 2016, about 20-30 people believed to be soldiers in civilian clothing reportedly moved in to stay at Hwedza Growth Point, Ward 15 with their household property. It is feared that the soldiers are on assignment to find people linked to People First.
"They have since started looking for accommodation in the community," ZPP reported.
On another note ZPP states that on 16 January Simon Sandati (not real name) of the MDC-T was served with an eviction order after his niece, Sharon Sireti of Zanu-PF, allegedly sold his house in Marondera Central on allegations that he was an MDC-T supporter.
The organisation also said on 11 January 2016, state agents allegedly came to Hwedza Inn in Ward 15 asking where the People First meeting was being held.
"The state agents are said to have been informed that People First was going to hold a meeting at the Inn on the day. They reportedly took the booking register at the Inn but failed to get information they wanted. They waited at the Inn until 10pm. It is reported that people are now living in fear," ZPP said.
