ZANU-PF members in Bulawayo\u2019s Ward 28 have been urged to show their commitment and loyalty to the party by voting for the party\u2019s candidate, Cde Kidwell Mujuru, in the council by-election set for March 30 in Bulawayo.<\/p>\n
Addressing a campaign rally in Cowdray Park yesterday, Vice President and Second Secretary of Zanu-PF, Cde Kembo Mohadi, said the March 30 by election should be a turning point for Zanu-PF to win elections in Bulawayo.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must all remember that we\u2019re not voting for Cde Mujuru but for Zanu-PF. Let\u2019s show our love and support for the party by voting for him in numbers. Let\u2019s put all differences aside and work for the party. Change must start here in Cowdray Park.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince 2000 up to now, we\u2019ve been losing both general and local authority elections to the opposition. We can\u2019t rule the country and have opposition people in the local authorities. We therefore found it fit to dissolve and re-organise the structures as a strategy to win elections. It boggles my mind to see Zanu-PF losing elections to the MDC,\u201d said VP Mohadi.<\/p>\n
He said it was unfortunate that Harare and Bulawayo provinces, where the party leadership operates from, were represented by people from opposition parties.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis must come to a stop. Let\u2019s make sure that the situation changes, starting with Cowdray Park. If ever there are any problems affecting progress and development in the party, we\u2019re here as the national leadership to assist in addressing the challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s continue supporting the party and trusting Zanu-PF. We got back our land after 23 years. We didn\u2019t mislead the country. We therefore can\u2019t mislead the country now. Young people should also know that they\u2019re not better than older people. Their time to rule will come,\u201d said VP Mohadi.<\/p>\n
He said opposition parties had nothing to offer and would not take the country anywhere since they have not made any sacrifices for Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s forget about opposition parties and stay positive. I know we have many challenges but together we can make this country a better place. All those who left the party are welcome to re-join so that we work together as a team.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s shun tribalism because it will not take us anywhere. Politics is a game of numbers and togetherness. Let\u2019s work and think together as a team and win elections,\u201d said VP Mohadi.<\/p>\n
The Vice President pleaded with the electorate to give the new dispensation a chance, saying it would take some time for the Government to turn around the economy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new dispensation is only nine months in Government. It\u2019s therefore impossible for us to move mountains in such a short period. We\u2019ve gone for 20 years with no Foreign Direct Investment due to sanctions which were imposed on the country because of the MDC.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s also give this young man a chance by voting for him. We\u2019ll show you what Government is capable of doing for its people. I want to commend the people of Zimbabwe for their resilience because it has not been easy for the country, but I want to promise you that we\u2019ll get there. As Zanu-PF we\u2019ll work flat out to fulfil our promises and stick to our manifesto,\u201d said VP Mohadi.<\/p>\n
He urged Cowdray Park residents to maintain and preach peace as they work for the party and the development of their area.<\/p>\n
VP Mohadi was accompanied by the party\u2019s Secretary for Administration, Cde Obert Mpofu, deputy National Commissar Cde Omega Hungwe and the party\u2019s heads of departments for health as well as indigenisation and economic empowerment, Cdes David Parirenyatwa and Mike Bimha.<\/p>\n
Bulawayo Provincial Affairs Minister; Cde Judith Ncube, Politburo members Cdes Tshinga Dube, Angeline Masuku and Absolom Sikhosana, Chitepo School of Ideology Principal Cde Munyaradzi Machacha and other senior officials from the commissariat department also attended the rally.<\/p>\n
VP Mohadi donated 60 tonnes of maize and 30 tonnes of rice to Cowdray Park residents. \u2013 @pamelashumba1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
