Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Hundreds of ZANU PF supporters in Chegutu East who are facing potential displacement have threatened to withdraw support from President Emmerson Mnangagwa in the general elections scheduled for 2023.<\/p>\n

About 300 families who were allocated land in Chegutu may be displaced to make way for a proposed platinum mine for a Chinese firm.<\/p>\n

The majority of the plot holders are retired civil servants who depend on small-scale farming.<\/p>\n

The disgruntled villagers held a meeting at Hopewell farm in Chegutu where they blamed Mnangagwa for their possible displacement. One of the villagers said:<\/p>\n

Even he (President Emmerson Mnangagwa) if we are evicted, the election is coming, who will vote for him, how will he win the election?<\/p>\n

Will the Chinese vote for him? Will one person make him win? They cannot support one corrupt person at the expense of hundreds.<\/p>\n

We fought for this land, and you cannot tell us to leave, where do you want us to go as old as we are?<\/p>\n

Hurumende ngaiticherechedzewo, murombo haavigwi ari mupenyu munotoumirira kuti afe.<\/p>\n

We suffered for this land and our pain cannot go in vain because of one person.<\/p>\n

Another plot holder who spoke during the meeting expressed dismay over the development. He said:<\/p>\n

Yes, we fought the whites and they left, now fellow blacks are fighting us, we cannot be fighting each other.<\/p>\n

Thousands of Zimbabweans across the country have been displaced to make way for big business as the \u201cSecond Republic\u201d apparently shows scant regard for local people\u2019s right to land.<\/p>\n
