2.0 We are on
a Campaign!
As citizens, we have the power to make things right!
Zimbabwe is at a time where one ought to look out for
the other as violations of human rights continue, and
affect mostly the ordinary citizens.
Yes, you and I are the 99.5 percent that have been
victims of human rights violations this July.
It is in light of this that ZPP launched a Resist, Reject
and Report Violence Campaign, #RRRV2023, to
document and expose perpetrators of politically
motivated violence as well as to create an active
citizenry that resists, rejects and reports violence.
As part of its mandate of monitoring, documentation
and peacebuilding, ZPP aims to contribute to a
peaceful electoral process where citizens are
empowered to reject politicians who incite them to
engage in politically motivated violence.

MONTHLY MONITORING REPORT
JULY 2021
2.1 Overall National Outlook
There was a general increase in political activities
across the country as ZanuPF launched its official
election strategy, where the party seeks to raise
US$140 million to fund its activities. The party has
already begun pushing its thrust to have a record five
million voters. On the other hand, the main opposition
MDC Alliance is still to actively implement its equally
ambitious plan to have six million voters. ZanuPF
generally went ahead with its activities in spite of the
country being under a COVID-19 lockdown.
A significant number of daily commuters in Harare have resorted to
using unsafe means of transport like these light trucks. This is due
to the unavailability of public Zupco buses especially during peak
times. Government has maintained a ban on private bus operators,
insisting that they have to joing the Zupco subsidy system in order
for them to operate. This has left a huge gap in the public transport
system as Zupco only has about 800 buses against a demand of
2000. PIC: ZPPINFO
