Resist, Reject and Report Violence, #RRRV2023
Matabeleland South
At Manama Business Centre, ZAPU Chairperson John Dlamini told party supporters that people from
Matabeleland should desist from voting for dogs. His use of the word dogs allegedly referred to Zanu
PF candidates that win but fail to deliver the promises that they would have made. Dlamini further
stated that they needed to vote out the dogs and anyone from Matabeleland that voted for dogs were
dogs as well. The abuse of women candidates was recorded in Mangwe constituency. In the run up to
the Zanu PF primary elections, 4 Zanu PF youths led by Mililani Dube went around tearing the posters
of Hlalani Mguni. The youth were reportedly drunk before they began to deface the posters of Mguni.
Part of their remarks were that Mguni was supposed to lose the elections. Mguni is the widow of the
former MP for Mangwe, Obedingwa Mguni.
