KEY VIOLATIONS FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY AND ASSOCIATION The Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP) noted a disturbing trend in various constituencies, where community members are coerced into attending ruling party meetings disguised as public gatherings to organize food aid distribution. These meetings, often chaired by ZANU PF leaders, are being used as vehicles for advancing the '2030 agenda' with a clear political agenda. 3 violations against freedoms of assembly and expression were documented affecting 55 victims. In Hurungwe West, village heads summoned meetings under the guise of food aid distribution, only to have ZANU PF leaders take charge. Similarly, in Mupandagwara village, a meeting jointly chaired by ZANU PF and FAZ leaders devolved into thinly veiled threats of violence, with ominous references to the 2008 violence. These incidents have instilled fear among villagers. In Guruve North, villagers were forced to attend a ZANU PF rally at Chipangura primary school, where Ward 5 Councillor Mike Kamuzonde addressed the gathering, replete with threats of punishment for non-attendance and criticism of the ruling party. These actions flagrantly contravene Section 58 of the Constitution, which guarantees citizens the freedom to associate and assemble with organizations of their choice, and explicitly states that no person may be compelled to attend a meeting or gathering.
