President Mnangagwa yesterday afternoon took people at the
Kwekwe long-distance bus terminus by surprise when he visited and bought eats
from vendors.
He alighted from his motorcade and headed straight towards
the marketplace and bought groundnuts, snot apples (matohwe) and maize cobs.
Commuters, kombi crews and vendors jostled to catch a glimpse of the President
at the marketplace.
The President took time to listen to concerns raised by
vendors. The President was accompanied by State Security Minister Owen Ncube.
Patricia Moyo, who sold groundnuts to President Mnangagwa,
said he paid using local currency and asked her about the challenges she was facing.
“We heard his motorcade and suddenly he appeared. I was
elated when he headed straight to my market where he asked how much I was
charging. After I told him, he took money out his pocket and paid. I even gave
him change,” she said.
She was happy to have told her problems to the highest
office in the land.
“I am hoping that he is going to address our challenges
like he promised. I, for one, told him the problems we are facing and he
promised to look into them,” said Moyo.
A commuter omnibus operator, Thabani Sibanda, said he never
thought the President would visit a
market place and bus terminus. Herald
