Zanu-PF members in Mazowe South recently confiscated the former Vice President Joice Mujuru's ZimPF T-shirts and set them on fire.

This was revealed by the Zimbabwe Peace Project in its May report. ZPP reported that on 23 May in Mazowe South in Howard village, three identified members of ZimPF had a fight with Zanu-PF supporters at around 8pm.

"The three were caught distributing T/shirts and party membership cards. The t/shirts and cards were allegedly burnt and their vehicle windscreen was damaged by John Kaseke, Noel Kumire and Mafios Ndlovu of Zanu-PF. The ZimPF team reported to the police but no action was taken with the police promising to catch the culprits," reads the ZPP report.

ZPP also reported that in ward 10 Nyandoro Guruve South, Eleven Kambizi a sports coordinator reportedly removed the Nyandoro soccer team led by an MDC-T activist from the league.

"They were accused of wearing jerseys with the MDC-T logo. The jerseys were donated by MDC-T. This happened on 23 May," reads the report.

"On 23 May it is reported, Zanu-PF had a meeting at Garikai Shopping Centre in Bindura North at around 3pm. The meeting was chaired by  Shadreck Makombe the Chiwaridzo district chairperson. At the meeting people were being forced to pay at least $0.50 per household for the One Million Man March. They emphasised that if one fails to pay then it shows that he or she belonged to the opposition. Due to fear and the nee"d to guarantee protection people rushed to pay."

The organisation said  in Rujeko ward 36 Mazowe South on 24 May, Stewart Musokota the Zanu-PF branch chairperson was reportedly leading a door to door operation forcing people to attend the million man march in Harare the next day. The operation is reported to have started at 1600 hours.
