Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>An aspiring legislator, Zalerah Hazvinei Makari (44), says she is the best candidate to bring development to the Epworth constituency.<\/p>\n

Makari is contesting on a ZANU PF ticket, having represented the constituency before between 2015 and 2018.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Makari contested the 2018 elections as an independent candidate and is now back at the governing party.<\/p>\n

Speaking during a recent interview with Business Times reporter Anesu Masamvu, Makari, who claims to have obtained her first degree at the University of Cape Town, and is a farmer, said she decided to contest in the upcoming by-elections on a ZANU PF ticket as she met the requirements.<\/p>\n

Asked why she should not give others a chance since has represented the Epworth constituency before, that is from 2015 \u2013 2018, Makari said:<\/p>\n

Let me put this on record, I will not stay on the dance floor longer than my two minutes, The tenure of a legislator is five years and I have done three and in those three I had to battle some elements that were not willing to go for development.<\/p>\n

So effectively, I worked for two years and in the two years; we managed to do significant work.<\/p>\n

I will give you an example, I fought for almost a whole year for us to get a registrar general office in Epworth so that people can access essential documentation easily.<\/p>\n

The issue of crime was a sore thing so we wanted more police bases so we got two extra police stations to put in there.<\/p>\n

We had two schools built during that tenure, a high school and a primary school.<\/p>\n

An array of developments happened at the clinic, which we want to be a district hospital.<\/p>\n

The Chiremba road that enters into Epworth was tarred, boreholes were drilled.<\/p>\n

I am actually embarrassed to talk about boreholes because that is not what we want to be, we want water reticulation,<\/p>\n

Tapped water and boreholes are just a stopgap measure so that people have access to clean potable water.<\/p>\n

\u2026 I think, I am the best candidate to bring the change and development required in Epworth.<\/p>\n

I am tried and tested. I am not an opportunist. I have done it before and I can do it again.<\/p>\n

It is all about the electorate, If they chose me, I will humbly serve and execute the task.<\/p>\n

Makari pledged to work with other contestants if she wins in the March elections, saying she is opposed to the politics of mudslinging and violence.<\/p>\n
