By Paul Nyathi|President Emmerson Mnangagwa has handed over a further twenty five top of the range Toyota Hilux Double Cab vehicles to traditional chiefs who had not yet received their cars.
The cars were handed over to the chiefs at a closed door ceremony held at the ZANU PF Headquarters in Harare on Thursday afternoon.
The Chiefs who have not received the vehicles are reportedly giving President Mnangagwa sleepless nights demanding to get the cars before elections set for July or August this year.
The twenty five are part of a $14 million fleet of cars to be given to all the chiefs which government claims to be part of their work package.
The first batch of the vehicles was handed to the chiefs on the sidelines of a special ZANU PF meeting in Gweru in January.
The purchase of the vehicles which was sanctioned by former President Robert Mugabe shortly before he was kicked out of his position in a coup in November last year, has been met with huge criticism from all sectors in the country.
Zimbabweans generally believe that the ZANU PF government is using the vehicles as a vote buying tool from the chiefs.
