Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Opposition LEAD party leader Linda Masarira says outgoing Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube\u2019s reported electoral loss in Cowdray Park constituency is a lesson to all public officeholders not to take people for granted.<\/p>\n

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC), was still to announce election results from the 23 August general elections on Thursday morning but unconfirmed reports indicated that Ncube had lost in Bulawayo\u2019s Cowdray Park.<\/p>\n

There were only two candidates who contested Cowdray Park, Ncube and CCC\u2019s Pashor Raphael Sibanda.<\/p>\n

Posting on X, formerly Twitter this Thursday, Masarira said Ncube was arrogant and did not respect civil servants and pensioners.<\/p>\n

She said Zimbabwe\u2019s next Finance Minister should learn from Ncube\u2019s defeat and prioritise workers\u2019 and pensioners\u2019 dignity, livelihood, and well-being. Wrote Masarira:<\/p>\n

Mthuli underestimated the people\u2019s struggle. I have, on several occasions, implored him to consider the plight of pensioners and civil servants in Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

In his arrogance, he had the audacity to show workers the middle finger and utter reckless statements to workers struggling to make ends meet.<\/p>\n

Mthuli\u2019s demise is a lesson to all in the future who will want to run for public office not to take for granted issues to do with livelihoods.<\/p>\n

Whoever occupies the Finance Ministers seat after these elections should seriously prioritise workers\u2019 and pensioner\u2019s dignity, livelihood, and well-being.<\/p>\n

In the run-up to the 23 August 2023 elections, Ncubce embarked on infrastructure development projects, including the resurfacing of roads as well as introducing training programmes for youths.<\/p>\n

He also said he was working with the Bulawayo City Council to ensure that all houses in the suburb are connected to the sewer system.<\/p>\n
