Heal Zimbabwe Trust (HZT) has said that it is worried about the violence which occured at the primary elections for both Zanu-PF and MDC-T. The organisation is worried that this violence may spill into the 2018 harmonised elections. In a statement, the group said,
HZT is dismayed by the continued disregard of political tolerance among political parties as the nation braces for the much awaited 2018 elections. Hardly a week ago, violence and intimidation rocked Zanu PF primary elections as party supporters clashed over reports of vote rigging and manipulation of voter registers.
Heal Zimbabwe views the lack of political tolerance as a recipe for political violence. It is also Heal Zimbabwe’s view that tolerance, pluralism are principles central to the attainment of peace and form core pillars of democracy.
