ZANU PF Chimanimani West MP Nokhutula Matsikenyeri is
making door-to-door deliveries of food aid to stop people from gathering and
spreading the deadly coronavirus.
The legislator has already engaged traditional leaders in
the constituency to help in the awareness campaigns of the deadly virus which
has killed close to 80 000 people globally.
“l am providing fuel so that we transport grain in my
constituency to various people. This week we have already distributed grain in
Gudyanga area and ward 8 in my constituency, respectively,” she said yesterday.
“In some situations, we are making door-to-door deliveries
of food which is coming from the Social Welfare Department but in some
situations we are delivering the food aid at a central point whereby we will be
monitoring social distancing,” she said.
“I don’t want our people to die of hunger and as MPs; we
should be seen playing a role. We are doing the distribution fairly despite the
political affiliation,” she said.
“Although we are encouraging self-isolation, we are doing
awareness campaigns on the oronavirus in the constituency. My councillors have
approached traditional leaders who then dispatch information to their subjects
on how to prevent contracting the virus. Newsday
