MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS OF HR VIOLATIONS
On 20 May 2015 in Ward 5 Buhera West MP Mandipaka denied suspected
MDC-T members access to rice. The victims included a Headman and some of
his subjects. The MP was giving two cups of rice to party members in the ward.
The Headman was being punished for his open door policy which had resulted
in an increase of opposition party members in his village.
In a case of intra party fighting Zanu PF youths from Mutare threatened to
occupy Mhandara farm owned by Dakarai Mapuranga also a Zanu PF member
and a Zanu PF primary election candidate. While the victim had the sympathy
of the public, he was elbowed out due to his links with Didymus Mutasa. The
threats were issued on 22 May 2015 at a Zanu PF rally in ward 32 Headlands.
On the MDC-T side, Amos Chibaya is building new party structures aligned to him. He
has been doing this since the beginning of the year, in an effort to consolidate his
position and weed out pro Renewal members within party ranks. In the MDC Renewal
Team, Sekai Holland resigned after evidence of power struggles emerged.
On the 15th of May 2015, a mathematics tutor in Mbizo 12 ward 6 had his
lessons disrupted by Betty Ndlovu [Zanu PF] and others. The tutor and his 20
students were force-marched to a Zanu PF rally in the ward. The students’ right
to education and freedom of assembly were violated.
