By Farai D Hove | As Zimbabweans based in foreign lands yesterday began fundraising to rescue their members of Parliament who are currently stranded, they witnessed a video of the ZANU PF national commissar Victor Matemadanda threatening the same MPs with hunger.

Matemadanda was speaking shortly after the MDC Alliance resolved to pull its members out of the august house reacting to the continuing strangulation in which they have among other things been deprived of their allowances, and so far four have been removed on instructions of the renegade senator, Douglas Mwonzora.
A campaign to rescue the MPs had raised USD1100 in the space of 2 hours last night.
Said Matemadanda:
They want to withdraw their members why do they tell us? What's that got to do with us, another persons children sleeping on empty stomachs? …If their party is Chamisa & they want to go hungry because he's been removed by the Supreme Court, we'll just go ahead & run the country pic.twitter.com/HwTEd94shk
