The bank account is for the party\u2019s Chiredzi West District and the funds deposited therein were going to be used to support developmental projects in the constituency.<\/p>\n

The party\u2019s Chiredzi West spokesperson, Tobias Muzamani told Masvingo Mirror that they tried to open a bank account with CBZ among other banks but their efforts were in vain.<\/p>\n

He said in some cases they were even advised to circumvent the party and open an account as a co-operative.<\/p>\n

Muzamani suspected that the banks were afraid of reprisals from the ruling ZANU PF. He said:<\/p>\n

We made applications to more than three banks and they all showed a lot of reluctance to open an account in the name of the MDC A. We feel strongly that they are afraid of reprisals from ZANU PF.<\/p>\n

Masvingo Mirror<\/b><\/p>\n

reported they could not reach CBZ public relations manager, Moliyn Musemburi for a comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
