People in Gutu (Masvingo Province) almost came to a fistfight over the proposed PVO Amendment Bill during the public hearings that were conducted by Parliament. The meeting had to end prematurely to prevent people from hurting each other.
The PVO Bill is seeking amend the PVO Act. Analysis of the Bill done by various organisations in the civic society claim the Bill will give government more powers to control operation of PVOs and Trusts among others
Below are some of the views that came from Gutu
Participant: The Bill takes away the independency of NGOs #StopThePVOBill #StopThePVObill @zppINFO@zimrightslive@crisiscoalition
