He is quoted as saying:<\/p>\n<p>My withdrawal from rural mobilisation is strictly attributed to people who are hostile on social media platforms; not any other reason.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Hwende had tweeted:<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I addressed a ward meeting of @CCCZimbabwe volunteers in Mhondoro. We prefer smaller meetings to counter victimisation. This is probably my last meeting. I have noticed the negative comments from our CCC citizens on Twitter whenever I go to mugwazo in Mhondoro. I have also considered the stress and anguish which most of the comments cause to my teenage kids.<\/p>\n<p>The reason I agreed to help in Mhondoro was to assist in growing the rural vote. I did 38-weekend meetings this year, funding myself and abandoning my work at my logistics company.<\/p>\n<p>As a leader in the movement, I have a responsibility to take into account the negative comments on Twitter and also introspect. I will use the December holiday to do exactly that. I love my citizens\u2019 movement the @CCCZimbabwe and will continue contributing in other areas.<\/p>\n<p>CCC has been engaged in the mugwazo rural mobilisation programme to lure the rural vote ahead of next year\u2019s polls.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign is meant to encourage citizens to register to vote in numbers for the 2023 polls.<\/p>\n<p>In his own words, CCC deputy national spokesperson, <b>Gift Ostallos Siziba<\/b> said, \u201cRural mobilization is our key focus&#8230; Together we can win Zimbabwe for Total Transformation.\u201c<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
