Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The ZANU PF candidate for Chinhoyi Ward 3 in the recently-held by-elections, Precious Dadirai Makiwa, has become a butt of jokes in the town after she lost despite killing a cow and donating the meat to residents in a bid to lure them to vote for her.<\/p>\n

Makiwa bought the cow which she slaughtered and invited residents to get free meat, with each resident getting a 2kgs packet of beef.<\/p>\n

Residents who spoke to New Zimbabwe confirmed the development, saying there was a stampede as mostly women flocked Makiwa\u2019s family home to get the free meat.<\/p>\n

In spite of her \u201cgenerosity\u201d, Makiwa polled 330 votes against her rival Richard Vhitirinyu, who got 513 standing as a Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) candidate.<\/p>\n

Vhitirinyu, who was recalled by the MDC-T on 4 November 2020, was declared the duly elected councillor for Chinhoyi Ward 3.<\/p>\n

Speaking to New Zimbabwe on Tuesday, Vhitirinyu said the ruling ZANU PF party should understand that people want tangible development rather than freebies. He said:<\/p>\n

The electorate is no longer as gullible as before. Yes, Makiwa slaughtered a whole cow whose meat she distributed to many households in the hope they would vote for her.<\/p>\n

Through her party, she also donated textbooks, but all this counted for nothing after she lost. People don\u2019t want freebies, they need real transformational change in their lives.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, CCC won five out of the six Local Authority by-elections in Chinhoyi.<\/p>\n

In Ward 4, ZANU PF\u2019s Ignatius Zvigadza obtained 718 votes to beat CCC interim district chairman Brighton Mhizha who garnered 569 votes.<\/p>\n
