Zanu-PF yesterday upped their game of winning Apostolic sect members, dishing out residential stands to Johane Masowe worshippers and urging them to vote for the party in this year's watershed polls.
In what can be interpreted as vote-buying, acting governor Alfred Tome, who was representing the Zanu-PF secretary for lands who is also the Local government minister Ignatius Chombo, handed over the agreements of sale to 34 members of the church.
The party pledged to dish out more land under the Zvido Zvemagamba housing co-operative to the church followers, whose membership is estimated to be around five million.
Tome warned the church against applying for land via MDC-T councillors saying they would never get any from them. He went on to urge them to vote "wisely" in the coming elections.
