By James Gwati- Zanu PF said opposition party members would not be allowed to own any business in Midlands unless they joined the ruling party.

This was announced at the weekend in Kwekwe by the party’s Midlands provincial chairperson Daniel Mackenzie Ncube.

“If you continue to be outside Zanu PF, you will suffer economically. Zanu PF is the only party that can give you income-generating projects,” Ncube said.

“We urge those who have re-joined us to go out in their numbers and encourage others to come back home (to Zanu PF).”

Makenzie was addressing his party members gathering to celebrate the defection of the opposition parties who are said to be joining their Zanu PF party.
