Zanu PF leaders in Harare's Epworth area reportedly forced the residents at a meeting to denounce the MDC-T led council.
According to Zimbabwe Peace Project on 31 March 2016, Zanu-PF supporters called people for a development meeting for small to medium scale enterprises, which was supposed to be officially opened by Harare Resident Minister, Miriam Chikukwa, at the Resource Centre in Ward 2, Epworth.
"People gathered to attend the meeting, which was not even known by the local authority. People were forced to denounce MDC-T and ZimPF. Zanu-PF supporters later argued among themselves over the planning of the meeting. The meeting had to be abandoned," ZPP reported.
"On 31 March 2016, a monthly meeting was held in Parkridge under Kuwadzana constituency with the residents. Committee chairperson, Tauya Mauya, started the meeting with Zanu-PF slogans and told the people that those who were not Zanu-PF should surrender their stands."
ZPP said Susan Munjeyi (not real name) an MDC-T activist was identified as one of the people to lose her stand.
"She was seen attending a meeting with her MDC-T colleagues. At the time of going to print she had not had her stand taken but the threat still remains," reported ZPP. "On 31 March 2016, it was reported that Zanu-PF youths were putting up an office in Ward 13 in Chitungwiza that was just like the ones that were used as terror bases in 2008. It is also said that the same structure is there in Ward 16 Unit J in Chitungwiza. Though it is openly used for carpentry, the suspicion is that under cover the structure would have another covert use."
