With Video: Zanu PF grabs cyclone aid

THERE are fears that relief aid meant for cyclone victims is being “looted” after eight branded Zanu PF vehicles yesterday drove off with foodstuffs from Silver Stream distribution centre in Chimanimani as some villagers are now resorting to cooking raw bananas to starve off hunger.

For the better part of yesterday afternoon, Zanu PF councillors took command of the food distribution centre, making sure that their wards were allocated foodstuffs.

When NewsDay visited some of the wards where villagers had been assembled ostensibly to receive food aid from the distribution centre, some ruling party activists were leading the chanting of slogans, while councillors at the distribution centre were making sure their wards got priority.
