It is alleged that in Binga South, Musazi village Zanu PF Ward 17 official Amos Munsaka and
a soldier identified also as Munsaka barred Musazi villagers from accessing welfare food aid
saying the village was predominantly an MDC-T area. They said as they are heading towards
2018 elections they had to ensure only loyal Zanu PF members benefitted. Police from
Lusulu Camp barred the local Member of Parliament, Joel Gabuza, from entering the GMB
premises when he sought to clarify the matter.

Zanu PF District Chairperson, Thaddeus Mwemba, barred them and their villagers from
receiving food relief from the social welfare department. They also alleged that on two
occasions they were stopped from attending a peace building workshop hosted by Christian
