Minister of Welfare Services for War Veterans, War Collaborators,
Ex-Political Detainees and Restrictees Tshinga Dube has claimed that war
veterans are not making any outrageous demands to government.
Dube said the freedom fighters are not keen on driving flashy vehicles.
All they want is "sadza nemuriwo", he said.
"Sometimes some people complain that war veterans are making too many demands, but from my own experience, I do not think these are war veterans who want to drive some 4x4s and eat special food.
"All they want is to afford a basic life with their children.
"All they cry out for is just sadza nemuriwo and be able to buy clothes for their families and hope to be treated when they fall sick".
Dube said most veterans contracted various diseases during the liberation struggle.
"We must remember that they spent their young ages fighting in the bush against the evil (Ian) Smith regime. Some of them left home when they were young and came back when they were old men having acquired various diseases from various insects in the bush, and some of the diseases were caused by unbalanced diet and unclean water."
