Six Zanu (PF) councillors in Chivi Central have reportedly set conditions that if not met will disqualify the villagers from accessing free government inputs this season.
"The councillors led by Phillip Hungwe (Ward 1) and Enock Shindi (Ward 26) are forcing villagers to pay US$2-00 as council development levy formerly hut tax per family and US$2-00 per cattle as dip tank levy as a pre-condition for them to be listed for government agriculture assistance," reported ZPP.
"Failure to pay the required levies will disqualify the villagers. On 2 October 2015, the councillors called for a meeting at Chivi turn-off where the above conditions were spelt out."
ZPP said the other councillors in support of the move are Saunders Magwizi Ward 2, Godard Duvira Ward 30, Renias Mutasa Ward 18 and Colleta Anna Ward 12.
"There was drama on 24 October 2015, in Ward 18 Triangle at Zanu (PF) restructuring meeting, when Darlington Chiwa's wife won the post of chairlady beating Kudzi Bere, an alleged Mnangagwa ally, by a wide margin. The defeated candidate in a fit of rage allegedly grabbed the victor by the collar intending to assault her. Darlington Chiwa saved the day by diffusing the fight," said ZPP.
