Farai Dziva|A senior government official has threatened to stop all Non Governmental Organisations activities in Masvingo Province.

Last week Masvingo District Administrator Roy Hove suspended the operations of Community Tolerance Reconciliation and Development (COTRAD) in Masvingo District following a directive from Emmerson Mnangagwa.

COTRAD has since filed court papers opposing the suspension.

Yesterday Hove threatened to block all NGO activities in Masvingo Province.

“We have the power and influence to stop you from carrying out your operations,” Hove told representatives of NGOs in the ancient city of Masvingo.
