President Emmerson Mnangagwa today makes his maiden visit
to Mashonaland East province since he took over from Robert Mugabe and he is
expected to address a Zanu PF rally at Chizanga Primary School in Mutoko.
Scores of party youths yesterday held a clean-up campaign
at Mutoko business centre in preparation for the rally.
“The clean-up exercise was part of our preparations for the
coming of our leader and, as the youths, we need to take a leading role and
make sure all is in place. We are expecting more than 10 000 people form the
province’s 23 constituencies. This province is known as the stronghold of Zanu
PF and we are expecting a massive attendance,” Zanu PF provincial youth leader,
Kelvin Mutsvairo said. Mnangagwa’s visit comes after MDC Alliance leader and
presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa addressed a series of well-attended
rallies in the province last week.
Mutoko is a known Zanu PF stronghold despite being one of
the poorest districts in the country.
The rally comes at a time the party’s provincial leadership
has just concluded its second healing session to unite its supporters following
the chaotic primary elections held in April this year. Newsday
