Youths intimidate stallholders

Comment & Analysis
Stallholders at Mupedzanhamo and Siya-so markets in Mbare were recently forced to sign the petition or risk losing their stalls to Zanu PF youths.Those who sell food at the popular Mereki Shopping centre in Warren Park D are in the same predicament.

They are being forced to attend meetings on Wednesdays and Saturdays at Warren Park Primary School where they are told to vote for Zanu PF in the next elections.

 

“Each braai stallholder sends two people to the meetings and all members here are supposed to buy a Zanu PF card which costs US$3,” said one stand-owner.

“They said if we resist, unemployed Zanu PF youths will replace us.”
