Scores of villagers in Masvingo West walked away while the president of the chief's council, Fortune Charumbira was spewing Zanu-PF platitudes on Sunday, after attending the meeting on the basis that he will announce a new food distribution programme.
Some villagers were forced to walk over 30km to the rally held at Charumbira Business Centre near the chief's homestead, and were angered to find out that they had been fooled to believe that he agenda of the meeting was food, when it was a ploy to introduce Zanu-PF Constituency.
Fuming villagers said the meeting turned to be a rally by the traditional leader, who is barred from meddling in politics under the new Constitutional order.
