Mandi Chemene wants Zanu PF youth to pay for residential stands

Speaking at a Zanu PF provincial co-ordinating committee meeting in Mutare on Sunday, Manicaland Provincial Affairs minister Mandiitawepi Chimene said she wanted Zanu PF youths to pay for the stands that are being given to them.

Said Chimene:

There is this issue of stands. You cannot get them now because there are procedures that should be followed. It’s not going to be free land for you, but it might be cheaper. I am disappointed by some of the youths. After slogans, you say we need stands and we also need to do projects to sustain ourselves. l have one for you. We can secure $20 000 loans at local banks without security.

Chimene also dismissed reports that she was obstructing rice distribution in the province before blaming local MPs for failing to collect the grain from the Grain Marketing Board to feed their constituents.
