Zanu PF members in Bulawayo deny colleagues food aid

Zanu PF senior members in Bulawayo reportedly denied their party colleagues food aid and gave most of it to non party members much to the chagrin of the affected members.

Zimbabwe Peace Project reported in its May report that several cases of discrimination were reported in the province.

"One peculiar incident was reported in Lobengula where Zanu PF officials reportedly denied their own members access to rice and instead gave the rice to non-members they were recruiting.

"This left their supporters complaining that their own party was now feeding MDC T supporters at their expense. Zanu PF officials had also started registering their youths for the allocation of land to be done by Local Government Minister Saviour Kasukuwere," reads the report. "Food relief distribution in urban areas also began in some constituencies with some residents complaining that the scheme was politicized. Intra-party conflict within Zanu PF was reported in Luveve where a group of war veterans accused Minister Eunice Sandi Moyo of working with former Vice President Joice Mujuru's ZimPF."

ZPP said police denied MDC T their right to demonstrate which was set for 28 May but this was later overturned by the High Court which granted permission in line with the constitution.
