Unruly Zanu PF youths caused chaos at a social welfare food aid programme in Gutu, leaving villagers frustrated and hungry. The programme, held at Vutsinda Business Centre and Guvamatanga Primary School, was delayed for hours, with villagers waiting from 8am to 6pm on March 6, 2025.
According to sources, the delay was orchestrated by Zanu PF officials who wanted to loot the relief food.
“Zanu PF youths and officials caused the delay because they wanted to loot the relief food. They actually stole the relief food,” a source in Gutu revealed.
The villagers, including the elderly, were left stranded and hungry, with many complaining that they needed regular meals due to medication.
When questioned about the incident, a Social Welfare official feigned ignorance, saying, “I am not aware of what you are talking about.”
This incident is not isolated, as there have been reports of Zanu PF members misusing social welfare programmes for personal gain.
