President Joice Mujuru faction of the People First is reported to have
emerged stronger recently during the Zanu PF restructuring exercise
where the party was trying to rejuvenate its structures.
"Masvingo is the only province where the Mujuru faction has resisted annihilation. The current restructuring exercise has seen the faction emerging stronger with its members getting most of the influential posts much to the dismay and wishes of the powers that be," Zimbabwe Peace Project Reported.
"The faction has had its own hardliners in the likes of former Provincial Affairs Minister, Kudakwashe Bhasikiti; Retired Major, Calisto Gwanetsa; and former Energy Minister, Dzikamai Mavhaire."
ZPP said these gurus have built themselves a strong political power base which is seen as difficult to dismantle.
"It remains to be seen if these victors from the Mujuru faction will survive another day. On the other hand, the hard pressed communities are being forced to pay development and cattle levy before year end as a ‘passport' to access government subsidised agricultural inputs in the 2015/16 farming season," said ZPP.
"This is happening despite the fact that the year has been a difficult one with the majority of companies scaling down on labour. To the peasant farmer, it has been a dry season with most farmers harvesting nothing in the 2014/2015 farming season."
