A shopping spree with a purpose
I am told by a reliable source (I always wanted to use those words - but unlike our state controlled press which uses them all the time, my source is reliable) that the government is busy purchasing between 50 to 100 000 scotch carts to hand out to rural farmers before elections.
Free and fair elections Zanu PF style.
We’ll have to watch this space and see what happens.
If they do hand out carts, I wonder if the farmers will be allowed to keep them. It was computers for rural schools (some that had no electricity) during the 2005 elections, and we all laughed then at the way grand presentations were made in front of the press before the computers were whipped away and grandly presented at another rural school. Unsurprisingly, once whipped away they didn’t ever get back to the original school.
