Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>ZANU PF says Zimbabwe doesn\u2019t need non-governmental organisations (NGOs) as they have not brought about any tangible development to the country.<\/p>\n

Addressing journalists in Harare on Tuesday, ZANU PFspokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa said NGOs \u201ccan go to hell\u201d adding that they don\u2019t play any important role other than giving food handouts. He said:<\/p>\n

To hell with those NGOs who have nothing to offer in Zimbabwe. There is no role played by NGOs in terms of Zimbabwe\u2019s development and nothing can be credited to them.<\/p>\n

There is no traceable study where NGOs have delivered production in Zimbabwe, like car manufacturing companies. What is their role if they don\u2019t give food handouts?<\/p>\n

However, Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum executive director Musa Kika said civil society plays a key role in sustainable development. Said Kika:<\/p>\n

I am afraid to say he does not understand what development is, particularly sustainable development, which is impossible without civil society.<\/p>\n

Human development, the most important development, has people at the centre, and one cannot wish away civil society in that matrix.<\/p>\n

Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) president Obert Masaraure said ZANU PF is using NGOs as a scapegoat for its failures.<\/p>\n
