The Zimbabwe Peace Project has said it is gravely concerned by the continued discrimination of other citizens in the distribution of food.
The organisation said that is a clear violation of people's right to food.
"ZPP is worried by the deliberate exclusion of other citizens in the distribution of food when most Zimbabweans are struggling as the food situation is dire considering that most granaries are dry. The country witnessed the distribution of food at a Zanu PF rally in Norton constituency which meant that all other citizens regardless of their food vulnerabilities were excluded," said ZPP.
"There is going to be a by election in Norton on October 22, 2016. The seat fell vacant when Chris Mutsvangwa was expelled from Zanu PF. In the first two weeks of October ZPP took note of the following reports related to discrimination and denial of food to those considered to be politically 'incorrect'."
