Terrence Mawawa | Zvishavane residents have described the donation of 250 000 broiler chicks to members of the local community by a Zanu PF official as a cheap political gimmick.

Last week Zanu PF national youth affairs deputy secretary Lewis Matutu donated 250 000 broiler chicks to Zvishavane residents.

Matutu is eyeing the Zvishavane- Ngezi Constituency.

In response to Matutu’ s manoeuvre, local residents lampooned the ruling party for attempting to hoodwink the desperate people of Zimbabwe.

Johnson Sayi, a Zvishavane vendor said:” We want jobs, not broiler chicks.

We are tired of the ruling party’ s old and useless tricks.”

Another vendor, Minah, said local residents would not be moved by Matutu’ s so called kind gesture.
