Supporters of opposition political parties in Zimbabwe are reportedly being removed from the lists of beneficiaries for food aid and farming inputs distribution in rural areas.
According to the Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP) Monthly Monitoring Report for September 2024, the distribution of food aid is occurring along partisan lines.
The report highlights nine separate incidents in which a total of 85 individuals were denied aid due to their political affiliations. Reads part of the report:
<blockquote>
In one of the 19 villages in Ward 8 in Vungu district, only 14 families have been benefiting from government-sponsored food aid in a village of about 65 families.
The narration from some of the victims indicates that when a decision to increase the number of beneficiary households was made, instead of adding from the rest of the families in the village, additional beneficiaries from the ruling party were added from other villages because the rest of the families were deemed unfit due to their political affiliations.
One of the victims narrated: “We are not getting the food rations because they say go and feed from your Father’s plate. We are not even told about the distribution but sometimes we are told by people that our names were on the list and were called out but we do not get the food, meaning someone is benefitting on our behalf”.
In Mwenezi North’s Ward 4, Kraal Head Chitemere is accused of only issuing the Pfumbvudza inputs solely to ruling party supporters, further marginalizing those who do not align with the political elite.
In Mwenezi North, Ward 4 Kraal Head Chitemere of Village 2, discriminately excluded two families from potential beneficiaries of fertiliser under the Pfumvudza supporting scheme stating that they never attend ZANU PF meetings and were not participating in the party activities. He declared the seedling program was for ruling party supporters only.
The families, facing a hostile environment, requested a letter from Chitemere to relocate to other villages but were denied, labelling them CCC members and claiming their movement to other villages would negatively impact others.
</blockquote>
Traditional leaders are reportedly forcing villagers to participate in labour-intensive infrastructure projects, presenting these initiatives as part of a “food for work” program. Reads the report:
<blockquote>
These have been noted in Vungu district in Midlands, Masvingo North, Bikita East, Gutu Central and Mutare North among others. In Ward 10, Mutare North in Manicaland, kraalhead Phanuel Hama Marange is leading the villagers who benefit from the social welfare distributed food aid in making damaged roads.
The villagers work with bare hands and use their own tools such as shovels, wheelbarrows and hoes.
Reports also state that villagers are fined US$1 should they absent themselves. In a similar incident in Bikita South in Masvingo, villagers who wanted to benefit from food aid were assigned duties under the food for work program and worked for two months but have not received the promised aid.

Opposition supporters in Zimbabwe are being denied food aid and farming inputs because of their political affiliations. The Zimbabwe Peace Project found that 85 individuals were denied help because of their links to opposition parties. Traditional leaders are making villagers work on infrastructure projects in exchange for food aid, with some facing fines if they don't participate. The situation is worsening for opposition supporters in rural areas, with even aid distribution being done along party lines. This unfair treatment is causing hardship for those who don't support the ruling party.

Opposition Supporters Denied Food Aid In Rural Areas | Report

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) is hunting for a Hurungwe woman, Sekai Zimbowa, for theft and sale of Presidential farming inputs. A police statement seen by Pindula News says Zimbowa was selling the stolen inputs at her shop in Hurungwe. Read the report:
<blockquote>
Police in Tengwe are appealing for information which may lead to the arrest of Sekai Zimbowa (28) who is being sought in connection with a case of theft of Presidential inputs in which the suspect was selling the Presidential inputs at her shop at Makakara Business Centre on 15/11/23. The police have since recovered 91 X 50 kg bags of compound D fertilizers from the suspect’s shop.
</blockquote>
ZRP is also investigating two other cases of theft involving Presidential inputs. One of the incidents took place on November 5, 2023, in Kyle Village, Rafingora, Mutorashanga. During the distribution process, 20 bags of 50 kg compound D fertilizers, 3 bags of 50 kg maize seed, and 3 bags of 50 kg vegetable seeds were stolen.
The other incident occurred on November 13, 2023, in Magunje, where 18 bags of 50 kg of Soya bean seeds were stolen. The ZRP is working to find those responsible for these thefts. 
Farmers who are part of the Presidential Inputs Programme receive inputs free of charge. However, some beneficiaries facing poverty end up selling their share of inputs. In addition, there have been cases where officials steal the inputs intended for farmers and sell them. One such example is  <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Douglas_Karoro">Douglas Karoro</a>, who was <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2022/06/02/president-mnangagwa-dismissed-deputy-minister-karoro/">eventually dismissed from his position</a> as Deputy Minister of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water, and Rural Development.

Woman Wanted For Stealing And Selling Presidential Farming Inputs

The presidential agricultural inputs scheme through which communal farmers receive free seed and fertiliser from the Government under Pfumvudza / Intswasa has gobbled ZW$828 billion from the 2023 National Budget.
This was said by the Chief Finance Officer in the Ministry of Lands and Agriculture Peter Mudzamiri while presenting the ministry’s 2024 budget expectations before parliament’s lands committee on Wednesday. Mudzamiri was quoted by <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/presidential-inputs-gobble-800-billion-government-funds/">ZimLive</a> as saying:
<blockquote>
In the 2023 budget, the compensation of employees took $97 billion, CBZ bank guarantee took $69 billion, the Grain Marketing Board (GMB) strategic grain reserve took $132 billion, Zimbabwe agriculture commodity exchange we invested $200 million in that organisation.
Agriculture finance cooperation took $5.5 billion and then the presidential input programme took about $828 billion.
</blockquote>
The money spent on the presidential agricultural inputs scheme was more than the funds spent on key projects such as the construction of dams. Added Mudzamiri:
<blockquote>
Dam construction took $224 billion, the rest of the other ministry land items took $227 billion, the total of all these is $1.5 trillion.
</blockquote>
Critics say the presidential input scheme is a strategy by the ZANU PF party to ingratiate itself with the rural populace in an attempt to prolong its rule.

Govt Spent $800 Billion On Free Presidential Inputs In 2023

Seed houses and fertiliser companies have started the delivery of Presidential inputs to Grain Marketing Board depots and shops across the country, for onward distribution to farmers ahead of the 2023/24 summer cropping season, reported <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/pfumvudza-inputs-distribution-in-full-swing/">The Herald</a>.
The Government is reportedly targetting 3.5 million households to benefit from the Pfumvudza/Intwasa programme this upcoming season.
The Minister of Lands, Agriculture, Water, Fisheries and Rural Development Minister Anxious Masuka said the early distribution of inputs will boost productivity given that normal to below normal rainfall is expected. He said:
<blockquote>
We are happy to announce that fertiliser, seed maize and other inputs are now in place.
In the face of the anticipated El Nino (phenomenon) we want farmers to use every drop (of rain), so the early disbursement of inputs will go a long way towards boosting productivity.
Apart from the usual Government inputs programme, we are happy to announce that we have NMB Bank coming on board to support 10 000 hectares of crops this summer.
</blockquote>
Masuka said 35 000 tonnes of fertiliser has already been distributed.
Under Pfumvudza, the Government is targeting 250 000ha of sorghum, 126 577ha of maize, 100 000ha of sunflower, 6 230ha of soya beans, 260 000ha of cotton, 7 8120 ha of sugar beans, and 62 500ha of African peas and groundnuts.
