Cheap Chinese lights

Zanu (PF) is distributing free Chinese-made flashlights to residents of high density suburbs here in a bid to buy votes ahead of next week‘s election.

Zanu (PF) campaign teams have been moving door-to-door distributing the Zanu (PF) branded flashlights. The Chinese, who are bankrolling the party’s campaign, also donated more than one million T-shirts and other campaign material.

“Zanu (PF) supporters came to my house last week and left a flashlight with Mugabe‘s face on it. They told me the gadget was a gift from Mugabe and Zanu (PF),” said a Nketa resident who preferred not to be named.

Residents who spoke to The Zimbabwean said the flashlights were poor quality and most did not last for longer than a day.

“To be honest with you these gadgets are more like toys than lamps. Zanu (PF) thinks we are children who can easily be swayed by these things,” said another resident.
