Zanu-PF ward 15 Councillor Roy Danha reportedly forced a group of pastors from Wedza North to contribute 50 cents each towards Heroes' Day commemorations recently.
Zimbabwe Peace Project reported that Danha had allegedly tasked pastors Welcome Midzi and Terrence Zarura to collect contributions and later the pastors were appointed to Zanu PF posts as chairperson and secretary.
"Danha threatened the pastors "Guys kana mukasagadzirisa mari idzodzo muchaona moto, muchapinda mupfuvhu". Loosley translated, he said the pastors would get themselves into trouble if they do not pay up," reported ZPP.
"Danha told the pastors that no one was exempted from the contributions, as Heroes Day commemorations were a national event. Meanwhile on the same day a group of American Christians donated books, pencils and boxes of vegetable seeds."
ZPP said District chairperson Peter Chigodora and Danha publicly claimed that the donations were meant for their campaign.
