DEPUTY Minister of Agriculture Vangelis Haritatos has dismissed fears Zanu PF will politicise the distribution of food aid right in the middle of Zimbabwe 's worst drought in years, saying they can never be that cruel.
With an El Nino-induced drought significantly affecting yields, Zimbabwe is one of several countries that is in dire need of food with over 2,7 million people needing aid according to the United Nations . "When it comes to food we do not look at anything other than that you are Zimbabwean," said Haritatos."Hunger does not discriminate on religion, political lines or anything else. Government will not discriminate, we cannot be cruel to that extent."
