ZANU-PF Secretary General and Speaker of the National Assembly, Jacob Mudenda, has urged party members in Masvingo to keep a close watch on the activities of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) operating in the province.
Addressing a ZANU-PF Masvingo Provincial Coordinating Committee (PCC) meeting at Robert Mugabe School of Education, Mudenda warned that some NGOs were straying from their mandate and getting involved in politics in a bid to push what he described as a regime change agenda.
He said party members should carefully monitor NGOs to make sure their activities align with the country’s national goals. Said Mudenda:
“In terms of Section 105 of the Party Constitution, the PCC is mandated to monitor and recommend political and development programmes and initiatives in the province so as to foster an integrated approach among the party, Government and other stakeholders in the implementation of such programmes.
“You should monitor all NGOs. Be very careful, some of them come in a sheep’s skin and start to deviate from their mandate, dabbling in politics.
“You should Know them and make sure that all what they do aligns with the national development.”
The Private Voluntary Organisations (PVO) Amendment Act was signed into law on 11 April 2025.
The legislation grants the state broad powers to oversee, audit, and suspend NGOs, placing organisations involved in governance, human rights, and advocacy at particular risk

A gang of six armed robbers, pretending to be police officers, is reportedly on the loose in parts of Buhera and Hwedza, targeting unsuspecting people and stealing their hard-earned cash.
The gang, said to be travelling in a white Nissan Navara, approaches victims under the guise of investigating illicit fuel dealings before pulling out a pistol and demanding money.
Acting Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka, said that a manhunt is underway and urged the public to come forward with any information that could help catch the suspects.
Chinyoka said that in one incident, a 33-year-old man, Blessing Gutu of Mutiweshiri Business Centre, was robbed of US$190 when the suspects stormed his premises, pretending to be officials from a high-ranking office. He said:
“The six men arrived at the business centre at around 1 pm and disembarked from a white Nissan Navara, Registration Number AFK5642.
“They approached Mr Gutu and accused him of illegally selling fuel before demanding money from him.
“When Mr Gutu told them that he did not have any cash, the suspects allegedly escorted him to a bedroom located at the back of his shop.
“While inside the room, Mr Gutu reportedly noticed a pistol hanging in a holster on one of the suspects’ waist.”
Assistant Inspector Chinyoka said the robbers noticed a wallet lying on the bed, and one of them picked it up, opened it, and took US$190 before leaving the room. He said:
“After taking the money, the suspects quickly left the premises, got back into their vehicle and sped off towards Dorowa.
“Mr Gutu later reported the matter to the police at Dorowa Police Station at around 2 pm, prompting officers to attend the scene.
“However, no arrests have been made so far, and the stolen money has not been recovered.”
Assistant Inspector Chinyoka said that barely half an hour later, the same gang allegedly struck again, targeting another victim in the area using the same modus operandi.
The group reportedly attacked Blessing Nyamurova, 33, of Farm 335, Zviyambe, and robbed him of US$200. He said:
“Mr Nyamurova was at his homestead at around 2 pm when the same white Nissan Navara arrived.
“Six men reportedly disembarked from the vehicle and approached him, introducing themselves as police officers from ZRP Wedza.
“The suspects accused Mr Nyamurova of illegally selling fuel and demanded cash from him.
“During the encounter, Mr Nyamurova reportedly noticed that one of the men had a pistol hanging in a holster on his waist.”
Fearing for his safety, Nyamurova went into his house and handed over the US$200 to the suspects.
Once they had the money, the gang quickly left the homestead and drove off towards the Chivhu–Nyazura Road.
Nyamurova reported the robbery to the Dorowa Police Station at around 3 pm.
Assistant Inspector Chinyoka urged the public to stay alert and avoid handing over cash or valuables to anyone claiming to be a police officer without proper identification.
He reminded people that they have every right to ask for ID from anyone presenting themselves as law enforcement.
