Former Studio 263 Actress Contesting As Zanu-PF Candidate

Former Studio 263 Tatenda Mavetera, who played the role of Tendao Jari is representing Zani-PF as the Seke-Chikomba women’s quota representative in the July 30 elections. Speaking to The Herald, Mavetera said,

After ‘Studio 263’, I got into farming and construction. I have also been working with the Zimbabwe Youth Council and ZANU-PF; with young people.

…One thing I think needs more concentration is gender equality. We are happy that now women are being mainstreamed in politics. If I manage to make it in Parliament, I will prioritise women’s issues, since I represent women’s quota.

…My family has been so supportive of my political career. Many may not know, but I have been in politics for 12 years behind the scenes at ZANU-PF. Ever since I got off the screen that is what I have been doing. My family members were part of my campaign team; even my husband has also been supportive.
