Zimbabwe premier soccer league players and coaches have resorted to campaigning for Zanu-PF ahead of the anticipated elections this year or early next year.
Dynamos striker Murape Murape and former Dynamos player and coach Moses Chunga recently addressed separate Zanu-PF campaign rallies in Mutorashanga and Chegutu respectively.
Bambo Chunga, is reported to have addressed a Zanu-PF campaign rally organised by Ignatius Chombo in Mutorashanga where the minister sponsored a football tournament.
A week ago Murape Murape is reported to have accompanied Shamu to a Zanu-PF restructuring meeting at Dzingai Nkomo cooperative in Chegutu, where he took to the podium amid wild cheers and donated soccer and netball balls to party youths.
The source of the story alleges that both Chunga and Murape could not be reached for comment.
Some analyst have laughed at the story saying the source (The Zimbabwean) of the story is trying to tell us that people should support the party backed by themselves and not the party of their choice.
"It is someone's democratic right to address whoever they want and to attend whichever function they feel like, now for this paper to tell us who we can address and not address is tantamount to tempering with our rights" said an analyst.
Another analyst said The Zimbabwean would have been happy to see such prominent legends in the Zimbabwean circles addressing an MDC-T rally. He also said, it shows that Zanu-PF is still got supporters even among the respected people in Zimbabwe.
