The ruling Zanu PF members in Manicaland have been accused of denying some villagers perceived to be belonging to the opposition political parties rice, which is being donated as food aid to the villagers.

Heal Zimbabwe Trust said in Nyanga Ward 2 Zanu PF ward 2 Councillor Joseph Kadyausuma denied opposition supporters rice from the Presidential scheme.

Kadyausuma highlighted that all opposition supporters were not going to receive the rice until they join the ruling party.

"The rice was distributed to Zanu PF supporters only. This took place on the 23rd of June 2017 at Avilla Mission," said the trust in its report.

 "In Nyanga Ward 16 acting Chief and also Zanu PF Provincial Secretary, Victor Saunyama and Zanu PF District Chairperson Teddius Chitsuma on 20 June called for a meeting in Ruchera village with village heads and ordered them to mobilise community members to vote for Zanu PF in the 2018 elections. Saunyama and Chitsuma instructed the village heads to write down names of all opposition supporters."
