The late first President of Zimbabwe Canaan Banana’s son, Nathan, wants to contest in Luveve Constituency for the House of Assembly seat in the forthcoming harmonised elections.
He will contest under the Freedom Justice Coalition Zimbabwe (FJCZ) political party, formed in August 2010 and officially launched in September 2016. Although he is interim leader of the political party, Banana says he will not be contesting for President. Asked by The Chronicle, why he joined politics, Banana said:
I’m sure you have heard the common saying ‘there’s no place like home’, well when I grew up my mother taught me to never forget where I come from and that seems to have been engraved in my mind no matter where I travelled and lived outside Zimbabwe. My heart and mind have remained tied to my roots since my childhood; hence I also made the decision to start my political campaign in Luveve where I grew up in the 70s.
