Mliswa told Mnangagwa that to make matters worse, the
villagers are forced to sell portions of the inputs to raise the money.
He said this last Thursday in his remarks after Mnangagwa
commissioned the 43km Mhandamabwe – Shurugwi road.
Mliswa also presented Mnangagwa with 16 cattle as a token
of appreciation for the completion of the road.
“Shurugwi councillors are demanding payment from farmers to
receive presidential inputs. You said we must not pay anything when receiving
presidential inputs. If a farmer gets a bag of fertilizer he will sell off a
portion so that he can pay transport demanded by the councillor. Councillors
are milking already strained farmers,” said Mliswa.
He also urged Mnangagwa to consider providing motorbikes
for village heads for easy facilitation of their duties. Masvingo Mirror
