People in wards 3, 5 and 6 in Umzingwane reportedly complained through their respective councillors as to why social welfare food was being distributed at night as this seemed to open this routine up for corruption and theft.
Zimbabwe Peace Project reported that allegations were that on 28 February 2016, an official from the welfare department identified as MaMoyo distributed maize in wards 3 and 5 between 9 pm and 11 pm.
"The previous day she had distributed in ward 6 between 6 pm and 10 pm. Councillors from other wards confronted her over this and she responded that the food trucks always arrived very late," ZPP said. "On 16 February 2016, war veteran, Cephas Sebata, allegedly demanded that all members of the Bethel Primary School Committee in Gwanda Central attend Zanu-PF meetings. He accused the chairperson Msongelwa Masuku of being a Zapu member and the others of being anti ruling party."
ZPP said residents of Gwanda Town abandoned their planned demonstration against Zimbabwe National Water Authority and their residents'association chairperson Bekezela Maduma when they were informed that riot Police would descend on them.
The town at times goes up to a week without water.
