By Own Correspondent| Zanu Pf legislator for Mt Pleasant, Jason Passadi is reportedly capitalising on people’s poverty and dishing out rice in a move which has been described as vote buying.
Aspiring legislator for Mr Pleasant, Advocate Fadzai Mahere made the claims on Twitter where she accused Passadi of using people’s poverty to coerce them to vote for him.
Just been to Gunhill where I heard that our “honorable” MP is giving rice to people to buy their vote. We choose not to run such a campaign as we don’t believe poverty should be abused for political advantage. Change must be empowering & sustainable. The long way is the best way. pic.twitter.com/Xndi4W9E2l

Efforts to get a comment from Passadi were futile.
