ZPP concerned over Norton political violence
As the Norton by-‐election impends Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP) is gravely concerned by the increasing incidences of politically motivated violence in the constituency.
Norton residents acknowledge existence of political violence and rising tensions owing to the call by Minister of Youth Patrick Zhuwao for National Youth Service trained youths to meet in relation to the Norton by-‐election.
ZPP said incidents have involved supporters of independent candidate, Temba Mliswa and Ronald Tinashe Chindedza of Zanu PF.
Last weekend eighteen-‐year-‐old Natasha Nyikadzino was abducted from her home when the perpetrators failed to locate her mother Ronika Nyikadzino who is on Mliswa's campaign team.
Natasha was later released and tells a harrowing story.
"In another incident a Zanu PF youth, Tafadzwa Chimbuzi, was violently attacked and sustained a deep cut on his tongue," said ZPP.
"Chimbuzi was admitted at Katanga clinic. These incidents and the tension in the constituency all point to the need for multi party liaison committees becoming a part of people's lives and not only being put in place towards an election."
ZPP said long-‐standing committees become conflict resolution mechanisms.
One church elder, who requested anonymity for fear of victimisation, said only two groups seem to be clashing.
"The groups that are fighting know each other because they were once supporters of the same party. We do not condone their behavior but we are saying involving the Border Gezi youths may not be the solution," he asserted.
