Zanu-PF uses 5,000 stands to buy Norton votes

Zanu-PF yesterday unveiled 5 000 residential stands to youths in Norton as part of Government's effort to empower young people. The youths had already been given the residential stand numbers that were officially handed over to them by Zanu-PF youth secretary Kudzai Chipanga.

However, the event was nearly disrupted by Mr Temba Mliswa's supporters who stoned cars, attacked and injured Zanu-PF supporters who were attending the function.

Chipanga said the stands were a fulfilment of promises made by the ruling party to the Youth League.

He said 4 000 more stands would be unveiled later.

He urged party supporters in Norton not to be dissuaded by opposition forces who sought to reverse the gains of the revolution.

Minister of Youth Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Patrick Zhuwao expressed gratitude to the Zanu-PF Youth League in carrying forward the "torch" of development.
