Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>ZANU PF leaders in Masvingo Province have blamed non-governmental organisations (NGOs) for the ruling party\u2019s loss to CCC in urban wards in Masvingo in the 26 March by-elections.<\/p>\n

ZANU PF Masvingo provincial chairperson Robson Mavhenyengwa accused NGOs of giving money to people to persuade them to vote for CCC.<\/p>\n

Mavhenyengwa singled out Community Tolerance Reconciliation and Development (COTRAD) as the culprit and warned that the ruling party has devised a counter-strategy ahead of the 2023 elections. He said:<\/p>\n

We have done several meetings and it emerged that there were some organizations including COTRAD who were giving people money in urban wards.<\/p>\n

We, therefore, came up with strategies that we will implement as we go into the 2023 harmonized elections but we can\u2019t publicly speak about them right now.<\/p>\n

Another thing that we noted is that there was generally low voter turnout on elections day so we will work very hard to win urban wards come 2023. I am confident that we will win more urban seats.<\/p>\n

However, COTRAD Programs Manager, Zivanai Muzorodzi rejected the allegations, saying they are without foundation. He said:<\/p>\n

Those are baseless allegations because we were simply observing the pre-election, voting process and post-election period.<\/p>\n

People should learn to differentiate civic society and political parties because we are not aligned to any party.<\/p>\n

ZANU PF arguably has a disdain for NGOs since the early 2000s as it accused them of funding the opposition MDC to effect regime change.<\/p>\n
