ZIMBABWE Partnership for Prosperity (ZIPP) candidate for
Norton constituency Tendai Muchemwa said he is not afraid to contest against
Zanu PF’s Christopher Mutsvangwa and independent candidate Temba Mliswa,
describing them as tourists who only came to Norton to fill a vacancy.
Speaking after a campaign rally in Norton at the weekend,
Muchemwa said his potential was exhibited by the massive turnout, adding that
he was prepared to face his rivals at the ballot box.
“I am not afraid of anyone for that matter. I am confident
of winning since I know my terrain having been born and bred in the area,
unlike some of my rivals who are more like tourist MPs who only came to Norton
to fill a vacancy. ZIPP is a serious party and we have a message that resonates
with the public.
“We are in sync with the electorate, we preach peace with
our emphasis being on development. We are God-fearing and we offer practical
solutions. We currently concerned about building our party and will pay little
attention to what is occurring in other organisations,” he said.
Muchemwa, who once campaigned for Mliswa in Norton against
Zanu PF during a by-election a few years ago, said he left the incumbent
legislator due to differences in ideologies.
“I left because of ideological differences. Moreover, he
lacks a clear direction. One day he is pushing factional Zanu PF politics, the
next he is claiming independence while insulting leaders of the opposition,” he
said.
ZIPP leader Blessing Kasiyamhuru addressed the rally where
he pledged to build a $150 billion economy within the first five years if he
wins this year’s presidential race. Newsday
