Terrence Mawawa, Masvingo| President Robert Mugabe’s long time apologist, who is also a former Rhodesian spy, Josiah Dunira Hungwe has ordered villagers in Mwenezi district to chant slogans worshipping the president in order to receive food aid.
Hungwe who was captured on camera drinking home brewed beer with Mugabe in Gutu on Friday at a time the nation is grappling with hunger, ordered villagers in Mwenezi to chant maxims praising the veteran leader in order to get food aid.
Hungry villagers-including school children and the elderly were forced to recite maxims praising Mugabe.
Mwenezi District is one the areas hard hit by drought and the majority of the villagers are facing starvation. With most areas across the country experiencing critical shortage of food, the politicisation of food is rife with Zanu PF supporters-especially those who sympathise with Mugabe and his wife Grace-getting first preference while perceived opposition supporters are being deliberately left out of the crucial exercise.
MDC provincial chairman, James Gumbi told ZimEye.com opposition supporters are being forced to chant Zanu PF slogans praising Mugabe in order to receive food aid.
“It is true that opposition supporters are not receiving food aid when hunger is seriously affecting them. It is unfair for villagers to be forced to recite slogans in order to get food aid. It is the government’s responsibility to feed the nation and yet villagers are being forced to chant maxims. Zanu PF is capitalising on the food crisis to force villagers to join the party. We are going to send our supporters to the respective food distribution centres to grab the food because they cannot fold their hands while their families face starvation,” said Gumbi.
On Friday Mugabe said the government was struggling to feed the nation and he also dismissed reports on the politicisation of food.

I urge all ant-ZanuPF Zimbabweans to do lip services to ZPF’s demands and save your souls. What people should understand is that all this does not really matter. What really matters is your VOTE come election day. Agree to what they want you to do knowing fully well when you will give your true blow. The most dangerous people are the village heads, vana sabhuku ndovauraya nyika. They agree to be used where it matters most. But again voters need to know what they want and vote accordingly.

I also understand this is the biggest bumper harvest in some parts of Zambia has ever recorded. And this is under the effects of El Nino. Imagine what they could produce with a normal rainfall. Some credit will go to the few ex Zimbabwe white commercial farmers.
For the slogans to be meaningful, the sloganeering must come from one’s heart. Makorewo taiimbiswa God bless the queen of England, asi vanhu vakapandukira kwini hehama dzake
zvakadaro.
Rimwe gore varungu (vaiita demand kuzi “ngosi” — kuzviite tumwari) vachatange kuuya munyika muno vachide “kudzidzisa” vanhu magarire nekurima “kwakanaka,” vamwe sekuru vakazoti, “Iyo ngosiyo, kare nekare zvetaisomboodya taidye zvakarimwa ndimwi vaya here? Iwe muturikiri, ndaure ngosi yewauya mayo pano kuti ndatinyi.” Nzara haizi kuamba mwaka unoba. Mararamire aiita vanhu kusati kwaane zvema slogan, ndiwo mararamire evanondoita. Kunyimwe chikafu kunopfuure zvetirikuona izvi, kunonga kwakanyanye kudini?
Honde chikari chemadzishe ndicho hacho, asi kana vakuru-vakuru vaenda, ndiwe uchasara wakanangisana nenharaunda. Ishii!

It’s true. Zambia had a bumper crop and we could have had one top but God’s judgment rests on Zimbabwe. Repent Zimbabwe. And anyway at the rate ZPF takes over and destroys working farms who should be surprised

Hungwe must do us a favour and carry on. This is exactly why ZPF are going down. God will never share His glory. So go for it Hungwe. You hasten your end and all your lot
What can you expect from a Psychomotor minister? He’s not even sure what his duties are.
On another note, I read that Zambia had a bumper harvest this season. Don’t know how true it is. If that’s the case, then the El Nino excuse being proffered by the Zanoids is a figment of their imagination.

The nation has chanted Mugabe slogans for the last 36 years and their economic situation has got worse not better!
