Hwende came out publicly at a Zanu PF gathering at
Chitsanga Hall in Chiredzi on Saturday to announce his defection.
Hwende who ironically has been a vocal critic of Mnangagwa
said he is impressed by Mnangagwa as a listening president. Hwende lost the CCC
ticket to represent the party in Chiredzi Central Constituency Parliamentary
elections last year and went on to contest as an independent and still lost.
CCC candidate Ropafadzo Makumire won the seat.
His defection to Zanu PF was announced to members during a
thank you rally by the current Chiredzi Town Council chairperson Jameson
Charumbira.
Hwende later told The Mirror that his decision to join Zanu
PF was inspired by the fact that Mnangagwa is a listening president.
“Mnangagwa is a listening president and he inspired me, I
witnessed a lot of developments done by him under a short period of time and
it’s madness to keep on opposing good development,” said Hwende.
Asked if he have any bad blood with his former leader
Nelson Chamisa, Hwende said he hold nothing against him
“I don’t have any bad blood with him, but opposition
yadhakwa,” said Hwende.
Also announced as joining Zanu PF on the day is Chiredzi
Govt Primary School Development Committee (SDC) chairman, Artwell Muzvrwandoga
and his deputy Shepherd Nyoni. Masvingo Mirror
