Speaking at a rally held in Bulawayo’s Nkulumane
high-density suburb, the young politician said: “They fear us very much. They
know us so well because we are not easy to shake off. For the past 10 years, we
have been fighting in the real struggle for freedom, freedom for us and for the
people.”
Siziba claimed that everyone in Zanu PF was losing sleep
over CCC.
“They can’t close an eyelid because they keep thinking of
how we will defeat them in the ballot. You guys have to also play your part by
choosing life and vote for us, choose good health services, better schools and
transport systems,” he said.
Siziba took a swipe at those who caused the fielding of
double candidates by his party, blaming Forever Associates Zimbabwe (FAZ), an
alleged Zanu PF affiliate, for the vice.
“Right now, we have FAZ people who have infiltrated us and
are using our very popular party ticket to get seats. We are not worried about
them, people like Dingilizwe Tshuma, Soneni Moyo and Albert Mhlanga. You won’t
win,” he said.
Tshuma is the incumbent Member of Parliament for
Entumbane/Njube. He is seeking another term and is contesting for the seat
against Prince Dube, who is the official CCC candidate.
Siziba is also facing a candidate from his party for the
Tshabalala-Pelandaba seat, but he dismissed her as a no contest.
Other notable aspiring parliamentary and council candidates
introduced at the rally included ward 26 councillor Mpumelelo Moyo, Thokozani
Khupe, Jesmine Toffa, Surrender Kapoikule and Pashor Sibanda.
The CCC rally was held a stone’s throw from a Zanu PF gathering,
where supporters were pitching banners and posters for singer Sandra Ndebele,
who is eyeing a council seat in the constituency. Newsday
