Zanu-PF is reportedly planning to woo voters by launching a housing scheme to benefit home seekers to boost the former ruling party's performance in the next elections.

The MDC-T has however poured water on the strategy, saying there was no guarantee that the beneficiaries would vote for Zanu-PF.

It is said Zanu-PF aligned Reverent Obadiah Musindo and his Destiny of African Network (DAN) would spearhead the election campaign by dolling out residential stands in various cities and towns in the country.

"Every beneficiary of this scheme should vote for Zanu-PF and betrayers will be kicked out from here. You can't benefit when you don't want to vote for us," he said.

Under the scheme, potential beneficiaries were supposed to become members of DAN and upon acquiring a residential stand; they would become party activists and expected to recruit a minimum of 10 people.

Musindo said he would ensure the project succeeded in order to get more votes for Zanu-PF.

"Of course we will support this because we believe Zanu-PF is for the development and empowerment of the people. Those who are not pro Zanu-PF will have their stands taken away from them. "It's a do-or-die election."
