War vets minister fails to pay election agents

War Veterans minister and Makokoba legislator Tshinga Dube has been accused of failing to pay his election agents and parliamentary constituency information centre officers since April last year.

On April 20 this year, the disgruntled former election agents and constituency information centre officers wrote to Dube reminding him of the outstanding payments.

They include Dube's personal assistant Nothiwani Dlodlo, Thubelihle Sibanda (office secretary), Morewell Ndlovu (chief election agent) and Petros Beni, who offered campaign materials such as chairs and tents.

The War Veterans minister landed the Makokoba parliamentary seat following a by-election held in June last year after the recall of about 20 former MDC-T MPs.
