Zanu-PF official disrupt AREX meeting

Zanu-PF Mbire ward 9 District chairperson, Robert Chawada disrupted an AREX meeting where the Department of Agriculture and Rural Extension (AREX) officers were compiling names of potential beneficiaries of a cotton seed distribution exercise at Mushumbi business centre on 25 October 2016.

This was revealed by the Heal Zimbabwe Trust which reported that Chawada was in the company of Zanu PF Youths. When the AREX officers were addressing villagers, Chawada and Zanu PF youths started making slogans.

"As they were doing so, they took the seed beneficiary list from Village heads Mvundika, Kamanura and Sangu and tore it. Chawada accused the Village heads of supporting opposition parties and for allowing opposition parties to hold meetings in their areas. The meeting had to be abandoned as the youths continued sloganeering. The matter was reported at Mushumbi police station leading to Chawada's arrest," said the trust.
