A villager in Mashonaland West's Dombwe Township reportedly insulted some Zanu PF members for supporting what he called the "dead" President Robert Mugabe at a time when rumours circulated that the veteran leader was dead in the Far East.

Zimbabwe Peace Project reported in its January report that on 19 January 2016, (around the time when ghastly rumours were circulating that the President has passed on) Yousouf Tsikai arrived at Xaba Bottle Store at Dombwe Township, Ward 17 and allegedly started insulting Zanu-PF members for supporting a ‘dead' person. It is reported that the Zanu-PF members at the bottle store just left without saying a word.

ZPP also stated that from 8 – 18 January in 2016, a voter registration exercise was conducted in Mhondoro-Mubaira constituency in preparation for by-elections slated for 5 March 2016, to replace recalled MP, Sylvester Nguni.

"People were forced to register to vote. They were told that if they did not register to vote they were not going to benefit from food distributions. Village heads were instructed to tell people that they should bring their voter registration slips at distribution points. No registration slip, no food, it was communicated," reported ZPP.
