This would have been Mnangagwa’s first campaign rally in
Karoi town — an opposition stronghold.
Yesterday, the ruling party’s Mashonaland West provincial
leadership held an emergency meeting at the Chinhoyi University of Technology
to organise logistics and finalise preparations for the rally to be held at the
educational institution.
The meeting, organised by provincial chairperson Mary
Mliswa-Chikoka through provincial administrator Misheck Nyarubero, was attended
by incoming and outgoing MPs, senators and councillors.
Meanwhile, vendors in Karoi have celebrated the change of
venue for the Zanu PF rally saying it would have disrupted their activities,
with most of them being forced to close shop and attend the rally.
‘‘The change of venue is a positive move. If he had come,
we could have been forced to play hide and seek with both council and police in
their bid to get us out of town yet we survive through vending,’’ said vendor
Tarisai Petros. Newsday
