IN a bizarre off-the-cuff speech yesterday at St Luke’s,
Lupane, MDC-Alliance president Mr Nelson Chamisa said he would give President
Mnangagwa a farm, women and whisky if he resigned and left him to run the
country.
Mr Chamisa was speaking at a campaign rally ahead of Lupane
East Constituency by-election on Saturday. The party is represented by Mr
Dalumuzi Khumalo.
The seat fell vacant after Cde Sithembile Gumbo (Zanu-PF)
died in April. Zanu-PF that will be represented by Cde Mbongeni Dube and has
also hit the ground running in a contest analysts predict the party will retain
the seat.
At the rally, Mr Chamisa left his supporters holding their
mouths in disbelief when he said he had already hatched a retirement plan for
President Mnangagwa, with women and alcohol waiting for him should he call it
quits.
“I will give him (President) a farm together with (VPs)
Chiwenga and Mohadi. I want to say sit and be quiet. I will give you whisky and
I’ll give you women. Whatever you want I’ll give you,” he said
In a speech filled with misogynistic undertones Mr Chamisa,
who is married, said he had been learning isiNdebele because he wanted to court
women.
“So Prof (Welshman Ncube) uyabona ukuthi ngiyadobhadobha?
(I try to speak in Ndebele). Ngifuna ukukhombisa ngesiNdebele (I want to court
women in Ndebele),” he said.
Mr Chamisa also claimed to have won the hearts of local
pregnant women who wanted to name their children after him.
Mr Chamisa once again took the opportunity to beg President
Mnangagwa for talks.
“We will have to agree on a plan to get the country out of
the problem and agree on an agenda to go forward. What we will have to agree is
to abandon the bond note and use the US dollar until we have resolved the issue,”
he said.
