Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa has warned that starving Zanu PF delegates attending the party's next week conference will not pay attention to proceedings hinting that they might spoil the party.
Mnangwagwa said everyone should be well fed during the week long annual jamboree.
"Every delegate who will come to our conference must have breakfast, lunch and supper.
" Our people will listen to what will be said during the conference if they know that their welfare is catered for" said Mnangagwa during a conference tour venue.
As preparations for the annual conference being held at a total cost of $4 million gathers momentum, central committee members and legislators have been forced to contribute 400 kilogrammes of meat each.
According to reports, state enterprises, depending on their financial state, were indirectly forced to contribute to the dinner dance held in Harare last month with each table ranging from US$10 000 to US$100 000.
Ministries with revenue-collecting parastatals such as the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority and Zimbabwe National Roads Administration are as usual expected to take the tables with the highest price tags.
Last weekend, Vice-President Phelekezela Mphoko pressured companies in Bulawayo to contribute to the conference saying they were beneficiaries of the party's policies.
Zanu PF's 16th national annual people's conference will run from December 13-17 under the theme "Moving with Zim-Asset in Peace and Unity".
