No cash to silence restive war vets

Government is so stone broke that it cannot afford to avail funds to placate restive war veterans amid faltering efforts to woo them back to Zanu PF War Veterans minister Tshinga Dube.

Dube said his ministry was operating on a shoestring budget and were struggling to fund war vets day to day activities.

He revealed that it had taken his ministry a lot of lobbying to convince Mugabe to approve the purchase of 13 Ford Ranger vehicles for the ex-combatants' parent ministry.
