Dr Paul Tungwarara distributed the money, and he emphasized that the program aims to strengthen communities rather than create political divisions. VaPostori for ED and Children of War Veterans each collected $50,000, while six other groups received $20,000 apiece for their initiatives. The revolving facility requires beneficiaries to invest the funds, and then they must return them to help additional groups. Tungwarara warned recipients against wasteful spending, and he stressed that President Mnangagwa expects financial accountability. Mashonaland West Minister Marian Chombo pledged government support for the initiative through her provincial secretary. Zanu PF provincial chairman Mary Mliswa-Chikoka urged affiliates to maintain close consultation with party leadership. [/QUOTE]
