Lower Gweru villagers denied food on political differences

MORE than 5 000 households in Vungu constituency, Midlands province, are facing starvation after being denied food handouts on allegations that they voted for MDC-T in the 2013 polls.

The villagers, including nonagenarians, from Nkawana, Bafana and Mudubiwa wards are allegedly being punished for voting for the
MDC-T.

Ronald Sibanda, MDC-T councillor for Mudubiwa ward in Lower Gweru, about 50km west of Gweru, yesterday confirmed the partisan distribution of food aid in the province.
