TimesLive Zimbabwean authorities have ordered a non-governmental organisation to shut shop, resurfacing fears that the state is targeting NGOs it believes are pushing a political agenda. Connect, a family therapy and counselling training organisation based in the Mutasa district in Manicaland, was told to close its doors. Government authorities in Manicaland delivered a letter to the organisation on Monday to inform them that their operations should be stopped. “You are required to stop operations with immediate effect,” read part of the letter. Sarudzai Samungure, the community services officer for the Mutasa Rural District Council, who wrote the letter, said the local authority suspended Connect’s operations after a meeting with the organisation on March 19.
