MDC Alliance principal Mr Tendai Biti has said “whites will
come with lorries and buses full of money” to Zimbabwe if the opposition
coalition wins the July 30, 2018 harmonised elections.
At a rally at Shamva Mine yesterday, Mr Biti said
Zimbabweans would have to open new US dollar bank accounts on August 1 because
his boss, Mr Nelson Chamisa because of the influx of greenbacks.
“I was in America with Chamisa in December, we went to the
United Kingdom in May, currently he is somewhere (else). He called me last
(Friday) night saying he was promised by the whites that on August 1, they will
come with lorries and buses full of money. There will be foreign direct
investment here,” he said.
“We will bring back US dollars, so on August 1, we want
everyone to open brand new US dollar bank accounts which are not contaminated
by Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa. Close these RTGS ones. On August 1 after
taking Chamisa to State House, we will hold a Press conference and scrap the
bond note.”
Mr Biti also said the opposition would replace all thatched
houses in rural areas with three-bedroom, solar-powered structures.
He said their Development and Urbanisation of Rural Areas
Agenda would be driven by a technology not mentioned in their manifesto because
the opposition feared the ruling Zanu-PF would “steal it”.
“The houses will have solar geysers, a kitchen and flushing
toilet. South Africa is doing this, you saw their RDP houses. We are going to
have our own RDP houses and smart houses in rural areas.
‘‘In Rwanda there are no thatched houses because their
government placed its people first.
“We have a technology in our bag which we did not mention
when we launched our manifesto fearing that Zanu-PF might steal it.
“We obtained the technology in Australia such that when you
place it on gravel it sticks to a plastic and turns into a tarred road.
“The technology is used in Dubai. To construct one
kilometre of tarred road cost $1 million (in Zimbabwe), but using this
technology you only need $70 000.”
Mr Biti said primary education would be free, and grants
would be provided for higher and tertiary level students. Sunday Mail
