The Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP) has revealed that ruling Zanu PF officials abused subsided mealie-meal and food aid by distributing it exclusively to party supporters during the COVID-19-induced lockdowns, thus worsening hunger among vulnerable communities in most parts of the country.

ZPP alleged that Zanu PF officials bought all subsidised mealie-meal and then sold it only to Zanu PF card-carrying members. ZPP said in its April 2021 report:

> Some Zanu PF leaders purchased all the subsidized mealie-meal and went on to sell it to Zanu PF members only, thus depriving thousands of people desperately needing the staple food, but did not have Zanu PF membership cards.

> The partisan distribution of government food aid is a recurring problem in most rural areas which have been extensively reported on by various civil society organisations.

> It has left thousands of people food insecure when they desperately need food assistance during the difficult times of COVID-19.

Zanu PF has in the past consistently denied reports that its officials have been politicising food aid.
