MDC-T Bulilima East district spokesman William Ncube told NewsDay yesterday that the clashes occurred on Tuesday after the ward received two tonnes of maize seed.

“We have been getting the Presidential inputs all along, but this time we were surprised when the Zanu PF officials, including the councillor Vusumuzi Moyo, told the villagers that the inputs under the scheme were for Zanu PF members only,” Ncube said.
