ward 19, Nyanga South.
It was reported that on 7 March 2023 at Sedze
Business Center government inputs distribution
which included fertilisers was hijacked by Zanu
PF officials and distributed to Zanu PF members
only, leaving out villagers who were not from the
party including CCC members. The distribution
was led by the Zanu PF ward chairperson
identified as Nyahokwe, the secretary Ester
Masheru and an unidentified Agritex officer.
After the distribution, it was alleged that 12 bags
of fertiliser remained, which were shared among
the 3. This is a trend happening in many parts of
the province and across the country. It is
regarded a crime to belong to any political party
other than Zanu PF. Many people are forced to
join the party to benefit from government aid.
Section 56 of the Constitution states that every
Zimbabwean has the right not to be treated in an
unfair and discriminatory manner on such
grounds as their nationality, race, colour, tribe,
language, class or political affiliation among
others. According to Article 2 of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the right
to equal treatment requires that all persons be
treated equally before the law, without
discrimination. This is supported by Articles 2
and 3 of the African Commission on Human and
Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR).
