Zanu PF officials deny opposition supporters food aid

Heal Zimbabwe Trust has claimed that Zanu PF District Chairpersons in Midlands-Mberengwa North Ward 12 have been denying opposition political parties supporters food aid.

The trust said Zanu PF District Chairman and Chairwoman, Joshua Zvandasara and Pauline Manzanga denied opposition supporters rice from the Ministry of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare distributed.

"The rice was distributed at Chidembeko Township. He ordered that all opposition members will not receive food aid in the ward. The two went ahead to give the aid to Zanu PF card carrying members only," said the trust.

"In another incident on the same day, Member of Parliament for Mberengwa North Tafanana Zhou of Zanu PF threatened and intimidated community members at Chidembeko Township in ward 12. He threatened that all known opposition supporters will be heavily assaulted towards the elections."

The trust said this happened a few hours after the distribution of food aid.

"The MP buttressed that no opposition supporter will benefit from any Government initiative in his constituency," said the trust.
