Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 76479, member: 636"] Zanu PF threw everything at voters in Nkulumane during a rally for Freedom Murechu's campaign, promising 30 tons of rice, cash grants worth 100 grand, borehole drilling, transformer fixes, computers, and WiFi gear. Youth Minister Tino Machakaire basically admitted the whole thing runs on patronage by saying people showed up waiting for the party elites to hand out resources, and he called out leaders who keep benefits for themselves while regular folks get nothing. Special Presidential Investment Advisor Paul Tungwarara rolled up in a helicopter to announce the revolving fund, and Political Commissar Munyaradzi Machacha laid out the full package of handouts tied to voting for the ruling party. The event marked a pretty open celebration of transactional politics where development flows through party loyalty instead of systematic governance. [/QUOTE]
