The Zimbabwe Peace Project has reported that Former Vice President Joice Mujuru led Zimbabwe People First in Bulawayo is seriously rocked by infighting.
The organisation said ZimPF party which was making inroads in the Bulawayo Province was rocked by infighting as some members were objecting to war veteran and former Zanu-PF mobiliser, Jabulani Sibanda's influence saying he was a perpetrator of gross human rights violations.
"Yet others were resisting inclusion of former Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T) members saying those were not to be trusted as they changed parties frequently," ZPP said.
"A National Peace and Reconciliation Commission (NPRC) consultative meeting was held at the Holiday Inn where the majority of participants rejected and condemned the process saying it was not people oriented. The parliamentary committee was told clearly that there were too many gaps in the NPRC Bill and therefore the establishment of the Commission was not accepted."
ZPP said MDC-T seemed to have awakened and gaining ground as evidenced by its increased number of meetings which were attended by large numbers.
"On 9 April 2016, at a meeting at the Small City Hall in Bulawayo Central constituency, one, Max Mnkandla, and other ZimPF members were complaining that Jabulani Sibanda should not be part of the party's leadership structures in Bulawayo," ZPP said.
"On 14 April 2016, in central Bulawayo Hlengiwe Sibanda of Zanu-PF threatened to beat up Regina Dube of Mthwakazi Party for criticising the Zanu-PF government over the eviction of vendors from the city centre. Both women are vendors. They were restrained from exchanging blows by other vendors."
ZPP further reported that on 21 April 2016, war veterans in wards 10 and 11 in Entumbane/ Emakhandeni traded insults at their meeting at the war veterans offices as some were openly anti President Mugabe and others were in support of him.
"The two opposing groups came close to exchanging blows," said ZPP.
