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
