Former Vice President Joice Mujuru has openly challenged President Emmerson Mnangagwa’ s Zanu PF to desist from forcing school pupils to attend the revolutionary party’ s political rallies.

National People’ s Party(NPP) Spokesperson Jeffryson Chitando yesterday said:
“Zanu PF must stop abusing school children.

Zanu PF is also forcing school heads to donate school buses to ferry ruling party supporters to and from political rallies.

We are likely to witness more school buses ferrying school children and unwilling villagers to and from Zanu PF rallies.

The school buses were bought by parents for the sole purpose of educational trips.”

“Parents belong to different political parties.

It’s unconstitutional for Zanu PF to force parents to literally fund its political activities,” said Chitando.

“The Zanu PF rally at Sakubva Stadium rally had many school children who were forced to attend the event.

The learning time that was lost by the students will never be compensated.

Teachers were also forced to accompany the students to the rallies,” argued Chitando.
