Zanu PF members in Harare were reportedly bribing the youths with quail birds so as to entice them to join the party.

This was revealed by the Zimbabwe peace Project in its April report.

"During the period under review not many incidents were recorded from Harare Metropolitan province mainly because of the harsh economic environment that has forced people to focus their energies on activities that generate income. However, in some constituencies such as Glen View South there has been a lot of political activities taking place as the politicians are racing to win the people from cell level," reported ZPP.

"Zanu-PF is sending youths to write down the names in every household promising to give them some food stuffs and to support youths' income
generating initiatives such as quail birds farming projects. They promised to give each youth 100 quail birds for a start and by so doing people whose names have been registered by the Zanu-PF youths will be requested to attend meetings held at ward level."

The organisation said ZimPF is continuing with their door-to-door campaign during evenings.

"Another notable event that took place during the month was the MDC-T march where they protested demanding answers as to what happened to the US$15 billion said to have disappeared from diamond revenues. In that same march MDC also demanded to know the whereabouts of Itai Dzamara, a journalist-cumactivist, who has been missing since 9 March 2015," ZPP said.
