*Elections Body Slams Abuse Of State Resources To Buy Votes* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?pp The Zimbabwe Election Support Network (ZESN) has condemned the propensity by political parties to use state resources to buy votes during elections. ZESN’s position follows reports that the ruling ZANU PF party requested medicines from the Ministry of Health and Child Care for six clinics in Lupane East ahead of a by-election scheduled for August this year. ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* *LATEST: itel S24 (128) $124; S24 (256GB) $159* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.
