Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>ZANU PF activists are reportedly forcing teachers and nurses to buy party membership cards in Zaka District, Masvingo Province.<\/p>\n

ZANU PF Zaka District women\u2019s league chairperson Confidence Mukau allegedly forced all the nurses at Musiso Mission Hospital and teachers at the mission to buy party cards or face undisclosed consequences, reported TellZim News.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mukau is allegedly linked to a ZANU PF faction aligned to Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution Ezra Chadzamira.<\/p>\n

The Mission is in Ward 19, a well\u2013known opposition territory that has had an opposition councillor since 2008.<\/p>\n

TellZim News reported sources at the mission as saying Mukau led a team that was forcing teachers, nurses and other ancillary staff at the mission into party cell registers and to buy cards at a cost of US$3.00. Said a source:<\/p>\n

We are appealing to the press to expose ZANU PF here in Zaka, they are forcing us to buy party cards whereas we are not even part of them.<\/p>\n

We are no longer at peace here as we are being forced to belong to the party by buying membership cards.<\/p>\n

Another source claimed that another ZANU PF team went to the mission for cell registration and they forced people to register into the cells. Said the source:<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago they were here at the mission doing cell verification and registration.<\/p>\n

All teachers, nurses and student nurses were forced into cells and the list of names was used to get presidential inputs from GMB but only teachers from both the mission schools got the inputs and the nurses failed and they are bitter.<\/p>\n

Mukau stays at the St Anthony\u2019s High School teachers\u2019 quarters by virtue of being a wife to one Mukau a building studies teacher.<\/p>\n

She is also closely related to former Catholic Bishop Michael Bhasera \u2013 a privilege she reportedly uses to threaten all mission staff.<\/p>\n

When contacted for comment, ZANU PF Masvingo Provincial Chairperson Robson Mavhenyengwa said:<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t received any complaints about people being forced to buy party cards. However, it\u2019s unlikely for us to force people because cards are sold to members only and they come willingly so we cannot force non-members.<\/p>\n

At Musiso Mission, we have a number of party members some of who are even in the district executive so those are the ones whom we target when we go there and those who are not part of us should be left out.<\/p>\n

I will talk to the district chairperson to about the issue so that it will be addressed.<\/p>\n

Zaka District is infamous for politically motivated violence since 2002. A number of opposition supporters were reportedly killed and some injured during the 2002 and 2008 elections.<\/p>\n
