Terrence Mawawa, Gutu| President Robert Mugabe has conceded the government is struggling to secure enough food to feed the nation.
Addressing party supporters at a rally held at Chamisa Primary School in Gutu yesterday, Mugabe said the government was facing challenges in securing food relief for the nation.

Masvingo Province is one of the areas severely affected by drought.

The government is battling to provide adequate transport facilities therefore we can only supply a limited amount of food.However let me reiterare that we will make sure no one starves. Mugabe also boasted of Zanu PF’s victory in the 2013 polls saying his party would win resoundingly in 2018.He said he would never lose sleep over the formation of the Joice Mujuru led Zim People First.
“I would like to thank the people of Masvingo for their unwavering support for Zanu PF.I know that you will keep on supporting Zanu PF. I am not even worried about the mushrooming opposition parties,” he said.
With the 2018 polls beckoning ,it remains to be seen whether Mugabe’s Zanu PF will romp to victory.
Political analysts believe the formation of a grand coalition will defeat Mugabe and Zanu PF.

He must just go along with his entire government. They are an utter dishace. Neither drought or sanctions or ‘ white’ farmers nor anything else is the root cause. The root cause is RGM and Zanu PF

Dementia has set in big time. If the ZPF and other “mushrooming” parties are non events, why does the despot even talk about them? The demagogue has not only failed to feed the nation, he’s failed the nation.
