  • Country Advice
    Country Advice Zimbabwe Zimbabwe – ZWE39076 – ZANU-PF – Violence and intimidation – Forced recruitment – Chivhu, East Mashonaland 27 July 2011 1. Please provide information on ZANU-PF related violence, intimidation, and forcible recruitment etc. in and around Chivhu in the period between 2007 - present. There have been a number of instances of violence and intimidation related to Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) in and around Chivhu since 2007, particularly in the lead-up to and during election campaigns. In June 2011, a Movement for Democratic Change – Tsvangirai (MDC-T) ward chairman in Chivhu was reportedly abducted by suspected ZANU-PF activists, and at the time of writing, his whereabouts remained unknown. Timothy Mugari was abducted following a ZANU-PF rally attended by the ZANU-PF political commissar, who reportedly questioned why the area “was harbouring „sell-outs‟ after seeing a red flag flying at Mugari‟s homestead”. The following day, ZANU- PF activists reportedly asked Mugari why he was flying an MDC-T flag, before forcing him into their vehicle. While the colour red is synonymous with the MDC-T, neighbours reportedly claimed that the flag was not political, and rather represented an apostolic church.1 In April 2011, The Independent reported that ZANU-PF youths had been engaging in acts of intimidation and coercion, and were forcing people to sign an anti-sanctions petition under the pretence that signing said petition was compulsory. School headmasters in Chivhu were reportedly ordered to provide centres for signing, and some shop owners were told that they would lose their licences if they did not sign the petition.

The bilateral component of the strategy is organised as research programmes covering agriculture, forestry, livestock and fisheries, managed by institutions contracted by DFID. The Animal Health Programme is managed by the Centre for Tropical Veterinary Medicine (CTVM), University of Edinburgh, Scotland, under the leadership of Professor Ian Maudlin. The Animal Health Programme’s mission statement: Livestock are vital to the lives and livelihoods of two-thirds of the world’s rural poor – close to 700 million people. But chronic endemic diseases and zoonoses constrain livestock productivity and endanger human health, thereby contributing to the perpetuation of poverty. Bringing together veterinary, medical and social scientists from the UK, Africa and South Asia, DFID’s Animal Health Programme (AHP) funds research leading to better control of these diseases.
