ZANU-PF secretary for administration, Cde Obert Mpofu, has
said the MDC Alliance has no capacity to rule and develop the country and the
electorate should vote for a tried and tested revolutionary party whose
interest is to uplift their lives.
Cde Mpofu said this during a rally in Lupane to drum up
support for the party’s Lupane East candidate, Cde Mbongeni Dube, ahead of
by-elections on August 3.
The Lupane East seat fell vacant following the death of
Zanu-PF Parliamentarian Cde Sithembile Gumbo in April due to injuries sustained
in a road accident.
Cde Mpofu said Zanu-PF has done a lot to develop the area. “I’m
not here to address but to ask you to vote for your candidate, Cde Dube.
Zanu-PF is known for development, we have done a lot in this country. The MDC
Alliance has never built clinics, schools and roads for this country. Show me a
school that was built by that party in this community?” he asked.
Cde Mpofu said village heads have a role to play in making
people vote for the right party which is Zanu-PF.
“We are not voting to win but we are voting so that our
lives will be well catered for. It is so obvious that we will win because we
had so many elections and all the votes went to Zanu-PF.
“Village heads should continue fishing for more people to
vote for the winning party,” he said. Mpofu urged party supporters who attended the rally to
continue supporting their leaders.
“The party is like a marriage, stay in your party and do
what your party wants, do not divorce it,” he said.
Cde Mpofu also promised to drill boreholes at Lupaka Clinic
in Lupane.
Nine candidates; Cde Dube ( Zanu-PF), Morgen Ndlovu (Labour
Economists and African Democrats Party), Given Ncube (MDC-T), Dalumuzi Khumalo
(MDC-Alliance), Nelson Mkandla (National Action Party), Andrew Tshaba
(Mthwakazi Republic Party), Njabulo Sibanda (National Patriotic Front),
Gezekile Mkhwebu (Zapu) and Alice Sibanda (National Constitutional Assembly)
will contest in the election. Chronicle
