Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Jethro Munangi (36), a close aide to President Emmerson Mnangagwa, is reportedly mulling contesting the Zaka East Constituency in the 2023 elections.<\/p>\n

The seat is currently held by Clemence Chiduwa who is the Deputy Minister of Finance and Economic Development.<\/p>\n

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

reported sources as saying that Munangi has already drafted a proposed template for the development of Zaka East.<\/p>\n

According to the sources, the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) feels that the MPs who represented Zaka East before did not have the people at heart.<\/p>\n

Munangi intends to unlock the district\u2019s agricultural potential using the Manjirenji Dam which is one of the largest water bodies in Masvingo, the sources further claim.<\/p>\n

He also believes that there are gold deposits in the Chiromo area in Zaka that can be used to create employment and catalyse development.<\/p>\n

When called for a comment, Munangi told The Mirror that it was not the right time to make such an announcement given his sensitive post.<\/p>\n

He, however, said he like any other citizen has the right to participate in any political contestation<\/p>\n

According to The Mirror, Munangi attended Matara Primary in the area before proceeding to Mashoko and Mwenezi high schools.<\/p>\n

He did War and Strategic Studies at the University of Zimbabwe before joining the spy agency.<\/p>\n
