There were reports of general calmness in the province after the dismissal of some senior
Zanu PF party officials such as former Minister of Energy Dzikamai Mavhaire, former
provincial chairperson Gwanetsa Killian and former Deputy Minister of Labour, Public
Service and Social Welfare Tongai Muzenda. The victims have since taken a low profile
as the events unfolded. The MDC-T party had its share of factionalism problem since
the appointment of the new structure at its congress. end of October. The party structure
was divided into three camps;the Douglous Mwonzora, Nelson Chamisa and Morgan
Tsvangirai camps. In Masvingo, Peter Imbayarwo councillor for ward 19 Zaka Central
leads the Tsvangirai faction and has often snubbed meetings organized by either
Mwonzora or Chamisa. The MDC Renewal has some presence in Masvingo through
such figures as Harrison Mudzuri former MP for Zaka Central and Ernest Mudavanhu
former MP for Zaka North who defected to MDC Renewal.

meeting and accused all present of harbouring and promoting an MDC agenda through
the establishment of the association.
The major highlight in the province was the Zanu PF Congress which took place during
the first of December. A series of events towards the Congress set the tone. Events such
the ousting of some senior party members accused of factionalism in the party,
accusations of corruption and treason labelled against the former Vice President Joice
Mujuru and the vote of no confidence raised against the provincial party chairpersons
alleged to be in the Mujuru camp are just a few examples. Throughout the congress there
was a heightened tempo of hate speech towards former Vice-President Mujuru and her
allies. The Zanu PF youth threatened to bar the former Vice President from attending
the congress. However the former Vice President and some of the senior party officials
perceived to be in her camp did not attend the congress and these include Didymus
Mutasa and Nicholas Goche. The appointment of the new Vice Presidents Honourable
Emmerson Mnangagwa and Ambassador Phelekezela Mphoko, the re-shuffling of
cabinet and the appointment of new the Deputy Ministers brewed mixed reactions within
the party and from the public.
