Zanu PF reportedly tops the chart of violence perpetrators for February this year according to the Zimbabwe Peace Project report.
"As the figure above shows, most of the perpetrators of political violence for February were from Zanu-PF at 61.5 % of the incidences. ZRP had 21.3 % of the perpetrators, while CIO also had incidences they perpetrated at 7.3%," reads the report.
"Victims of violence for February were mainly in the 50-59 years age group; while the 40-49 years age group came second followed by the 30 -39. Like the other months, over 70 years age group had the least number of victims for February."
The report further states that the highest number of perpetrators was found in the 50 – 59 years age group, followed by the 40-49 years age group.
"The 30-39 years age was next followed by those from 60 – 69 years of age. In comparison the majority of perpetrators for February were mostly in the 40 – 49 years old age group," reads the report. "Like previous months, February showed the number of male victims of violence being more than that of women. Male victims were 313 slightly up from last month figure of 252; while female victims were 128 a considerable increase from last month figure of 94."
The report states that the number of male perpetrators of violence for February at 264 is less than that of 286 last month.
"Women stood at a fraction of that at 22 for February; notably this figure was less than half the figure for women perpetrators in January which stood at 48," reads the report. "This shows that men were more likely to perpetrate violence than women; and that there was a decrease in women perpetrating violence."
