FORMER War Veterans minister Tshinga Dube has
blamed his previous election defeats in Makokoba constituency to being
misunderstood by the electorate.
The Makokoba legislator, however, expressed confidence in
retaining the constituency in the upcoming polls.
Dube lost the Makokoba constituency in 2008 and 2013
despite a heavy election campaign that saw him even hosting a music gala at
Stanley Square.
At one time, the Makokoba legislator contemplated quitting
politics after losing the 2013 elections to the MDC-T, only to bounce back
through a 2015 by-election boycotted by the opposition.
“I have a done a lot for the constituency, but I would like
to think the reason why I was losing is because I was being misunderstood by
the electorate,” Dube said.
“I am almost 99% confident of winning the seat. I trust the
people that they will not let me down this time around. When you work well with
people we should learn to trust each other.
“MDC has been in charge here for about 15 years, but they
have done nothing, so the people have now realised that this is false belief.
They now know that we are the game changer in town.”
On Saturday, he also donated tonnes of maize to the needy
and orphans.
Dube added: “I have been giving the people of Makokoba even
those outside the constituency way before I became a Member of Parliament.
“This is how I was brought up to give and give as long as I
have the capacity to do so. Besides, I don’t segregate anyone on political
grounds, I just give everyone.” Newsday
