Mashonaland East There was distribution of rice in various constituencies and the vulnerable members of the society were targeted as recipients. An MDC-T supporter from ward 15 in Hwedza North was denied rice that was distributed at Hwedza Centre on 15 June because of her affiliation. Violet Muzah of Zanu PF prevented the victim from being given the rice .She openly told her not to receive goods distributed by Zanu PF. The distribution of rice was done in ward 8 Mutoko North on 14 June under the leadership of Godfrey Matimura. People from Gezi, Mapezera, Chigumira, Chiripanyanga, Svugu and Bondamakara converged at Bondamakara Township for distribution. About 200 people had gathered but only a quarter of them got the rice. The reasons for denial of the rice were failure to attend Zanu PF meetings, not contributing to farmers’ field days and being below the age of 65 years. However some people above the age of 65 were denied the rice because they are supporters of opposition parties. In Seke only Zanu PF supporters were given 5kg of rice at Dema growth point in ward 7 on 24 June 2015.The rice was distributed by a Zanu PF District official known as Hama and headmen selected people who got the rice.
