Aug 23: Zanu PF ups the ante

THE ruling Zanu PF party has upped the ante as it reportedly intimidates villagers to attend its weekly campaign meetings, warning that an attendance register will be used to punish those who boycott.

NewsDay has established that an attendance register is marked during every meeting and an audio doing the rounds on social media seems to confirm this.

In the audio, the voice of a suspected Zanu PF official is heard sternly threatening villagers in what is believed to be somewhere in Manicaland province.
