The province streamed the launch of the ruling party’s
campaign presided over by President Mnangagwa in Harare on a big screen at
Pumula terminus on Saturday.
The ruling party is bracing to reclaim Pumula and Nkulumane constituencies as well
as other local authority seats which had been held by the opposition before
their in-house disorder saw them recalling each other from parliament and
council.
The party’s provincial spokesperson Cde Archie Chiponda
said the province was now in full campaign mode after the launch by the
President.
“What we did as a party in each province, we managed to
stream the launch from the Epworth (in Harare) rally on big screens.
The point was for solidarity countrywide in the roll out of
our by-election campaign. Going forward, now that the President has officially
launched, it means we are now in full campaign mode. We are now definitely
forging forward with our campaign with all our tactics and strategies,” said
Cde Chiponda.
He said cities have been run down by the opposition hence
their aim to reclaim the seats and improve the lives of citizens as well as
work towards economic growth.
“The message has been quite emphatic from Zanu-PF. One of
our mantras is ilizwe lakhiwa ngabanikazi balo so now is the time for economic
development. We are focused on building the economy and improving the lives of
people and that is the message we are taking to the people.
“If you look at the local authority set up, there is no way
the people of Zimbabwe will vote for the opposition in any city because they
have run them down.
We are glad because the electorate has seen that voting the
opposition was a wrong move so going forward, they need to give Zanu-PF a
chance and we will definitely improve people’s lives,” said Cde Chiponda.
Pumula youth chairperson Cde Elvis Dube said they were
raring to go and will work hard to ensure the party wins the constituency.
“I am happy with the launch of the campaign by the
President for the by-elections. We as the youth now have a theme that says
akusalalwa koBulawayo sokusentshenzwa like what the President is doing.
So, what we now want to first do is to follow what the
President is emphasising, which is economic development. As Pumula constituency
we have a candidate, Phumulani Nsingo and we are confident he will win,” said
Cde Dube
The ruling party supporters who attended the virtual rally
also received party regalia. Chronicle
