Mujuru's ZimPF in door-to-door Mash East mobilization

Zimbabwe People First (ZimPF) has embarked on a door-to-door exercise to mobilize people to attend its Mashonaland East star rally at Rudhaka Stadium in Marondera on Saturday.

Mujuru's rally is expected to draw thousands of people in a province largely viewed as a ZimPF stronghold and home of "Gamatox", a former Zanu-PF faction many of whose members were kicked out of the ruling party for allegedly fanning divisions and trying to topple President Robert Mugabe.

Mujuru's outreach has reportedly shaken the Zanu-PF provincial leadership after reports that businessman and former governor Ray Kaukonde was funding the mobilisation team. Kaukonde, who is yet to appear at any of Mujuru rallies, also commands a huge following in his home area of Mudzi.
