Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>ZANU PF on Tuesday held a campaign meeting at Gungauta village in Muusha area in Chimanimani West in defiance of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) \u2018s directive that all campaigning activities should not extend beyond Monday midnight.<\/p>\n

In a recent statement, ZEC said, \u201cthe last day of campaigns is the 21st of August 2023 at 11.59 pm\u201d.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday morning, the ruling party convened a meeting at Gungauta village in ward 16 which was addressed by the party\u2019s youth chairperson Tinashe Nyabanga.<\/p>\n

During the meeting, Nyabanga ordered all opposition supporters in the area to fake blindness on voting day so they would be \u201cassisted\u201d to cast their votes.<\/p>\n

\u201cZanu PF this morning held a meeting at Gungauta ward and identified 10 villagers including teachers whom he said should be assisted to vote because they are suspected to be CCC members.<\/p>\n

\u201cNyabanga said those who defy the order will be excluded from the list of beneficiaries of government food and agricultural inputs schemes,\u201d said a villager who attended the meeting.<\/p>\n

The villager who refused to be named for fear of victimization said Nyabanga also threatened to assault the \u201csuspects\u201d if Zanu PF loses in the ward.<\/p>\n

\u201cNyabanga has been terrorizing us for the past three months. He openly boasts that he is above the law and no one can do anything to him,\u201d added another villager.<\/p>\n

When reached for comment Nyabanga confirmed the meeting and threats but said he had been sent by his superiors.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is true the meeting in question happened but I was sent by the chairman,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
