Heal Zimbabwe Trust has reported that the violence provoking statements made by first lady Grace Mugabe that Mashonaland Central was a no go area for the opposition were made during the month of October amid the escalation of violence.
"On the 14th of October 2015, the First Lady and Women's League chairperson for ZANU PF, Dr Grace Mugabe declared that Mashonaland Central is a no-go-area for opposition parties. "The problem with other parties is that they only come to you Political conflicts Land conflicts Socio-cultural Economic conflicts
during election time," reported the trust. "Here in Mashonaland Central, they should not attempt to come. That is a no-go area for them. It is a one-party State here," she declared."
The trust said the utterances were made at Chimhanda Secondary School where ZANU PF hosted a political rally and handed over government sourced farming equipment.
"The First Lady's utterances are a reflection of political intolerance which is capable of motivating political violence," said the trust.
