Displacement po st electio n violence The province has generally been calm, however some cases of violence were recorded in Lwendulu village, Nkayi and Hwange. The members of the Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) are allegedly driving around villages with a list of observers, and opposition supporters who are the targets of assault, harassment and intimidation. Violence is said to have erupted in Nkayi where an army truck was reportedly going around the constituency with a list of names of people who voted for MDC with the intention of assaulting and harassing these people. Some of the people on the list have left the area and are now temporarily leaving with relatives.

In Matebeleland South, the environment is generally mild with a few hot spots of violence. ZPP recorded 35 incidences of violence, one case of torture and one of unlawful detention. There are reports that there are some ZANU PF youths and war veterans who have been going around recruiting youth to campaign for the ruling party. The youths are going around telling people that they made a mistake in the harmonized elections by voting for MDC and they should not make the same mistake in the runoff. The group set up a base at Sigodo Business Center. Reports reaching ZPP indicate that bases have been set up at West Nicholson factory, Sitezi business center, Mzimuni hall and Nkazhe primary school. In another occasion, in Nswazi, war veterans come and do patrols whilst in Madabe and other areas. In Plumtree, war veterans are allegedly patrolling the area frequently on bikes. Bulawayo In Bulawayo, some bases have been set up at Municipal offices and schools and are designed for harassment and intimidation. In total, ZPP recorded 47 cases of harassment and intimidation and 5 assaults. The province is relatively calm but has received an influx of persons from other provinces who are seeking refuge. Bulawayo is the only Province where ZPP has not recorded any displacements.
