Addressing delegates attending the official launch of Zanu-PF’s election manifesto at the Harare International Conference Centre (HICC) on Friday afternoon, Vice President Constantino Chiwenga dismissed MDC Alliance presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa’s promises to build bullet trains, spaghetti roads and establish village airports as make belief dreams.
Chiwenga said the MDC-T led municipality in Harare should first resolve issues affecting the people such as potholes before making promises to build spaghetti roads. He also advised the Chamisa led MDC-T to address leadership issues that are affecting its party before challenging Zanu-PF. Said Chiwenga:
…until we ask ourselves why pretenders who sell us such convoluted dummies cannot manage small traffic in our real world cities and municipalities which they control and run. Why reach Bulawayo in 40 minutes when Harare workers can’t reach Kuwadzana in 5 hours? What open cans of spaghetti when potholes straddle single lane roads in the city centre. Shouldn’t these starry eyed juvenile politicians take us to Mabvuku after a hard day’s work before they put us on Apollo II to the moon? We shall have time to dismantle their little make believe dreams as we get down to real campaign work. Before they tackle our icon could they do their supporters a favour by resolving ridiculous issues that dog and hound them. We excuse them for being too young to have participated in the struggle but we can’t excuse them for mounting a bid for national leadership from a pilfered party crown.
Chamisa has been in politics longer than you comrade, unless maiita huori to be invloved in politics muchiri ku army which would also mean kuti yenyu operation restore regasi ikubateiwo manga muri mbava around mugabe
Thank you Anonymous. Chamisa is more experienced than Chiwenga in terms of Zim politics. Talking about the roads, all the previous Minsters of Local Government Chombo and Kasukuwere interfered with running of the local authorities. ZANU PF sabotaged the MDC run councils for political expedience. Up to now, Harare has no Town Clerk because of the inference of you people. We are sick and tired of the war talk which is now obsolete and has no relevance to needs of the born free. Forget about war, corruption, greed, genocide and focus on the problems being faced by the 14 million people living in extreme poverty. Mujuru was only Arm Commander who retired voluntarily yet all of you surrounded Mugabe and looted all the resources of the country. Chiwengwa I do not think you are understand the sentiments of the masses. When we went into the streets , we were not expecting that this was change which we wanted. Stop interfering with local authorities and leave the MDC to run towns without the Minister of Local Government pausing as a demi God and the Mayors and Town Clerks have to lick his ass to get anything done. ZANU PF is actually frustrating the people, we know all the problems which local authorities have because of ZANU PF’s micromanagement.
