The opposition has accused Zanu PF of looting the national treasury and challenged them to declare their source of funding. This comes after the ruling party bought 350 vehicles in preparation for the 2018 Elections. At the same time, the government is struggling to pay civil servants and to control a domestic debt which is ballooning.
People’s Democratic Party secretary-general, Gorden Moyo said:
Zanu PF has gained its own peculiar reputation of dipping its hands in the national till, including stealing from itself. Its president has a very short moral height and the whole institution has no moral rectitude.
It comes as no surprise to us that, while civil servants have no salaries and bonuses, Zanu PF is not embarrassed to display its excesses in Masvingo in the form of a primitive accumulation and gluttonous politics
MDC-T spokesperson, Obert Gutu said:
It is clear that the vehicles that the party is purchasing are being funded from a shadowy source, most likely it’s coming from the proceeds of illicit diamond sales
