District Registrar’s offices so that they are able to vote in 2018. The message is reportedly being
shared among Zanu PF supporters only making it difficult for other political parties.
FOOD AND OTHER FORMS OF AID VIOLATIONS
There were very few incidents of food and other forms of aid violations recorded during the month
under review as most people have already started eating new crops from their field. There were only
12 incidents recorded from Masvingo and Mashonaland West provinces.
Flood victims from Tokwe Mukosi Dam are still in need of food and other basic humanitarian
assistance. The situation has been compounded by the outbreak of diseases at Chingwizi holding
camp of the Tokwe Mukosi victims.
In Mashonaland West, four cases concerning aid violations were reported. On 16 March, 2014
Headman Mashandu and his wives and relatives took the fertilizer meant for the aged in Makaki
village in Mhondoro Mubaira. When people raised this with the local councillor she said she had dealt
with Mashandu but nothing was done to him as many people who were meant to get fertilizer did not
get, only 23 people got the fertilizer from over a 100 possible beneficiaries..
In Chegutu an international organisation called Samaritan Pace was prevented from distributing gift
boxes on 13 March in Pfupajena by police Sergeant Chifamba for having no clearance letter. The
Coordinator Brian Magwenzi had to move to Kadoma to distribute there.
