Chamisa To Lead Tree Planting Campaign

MDC president Nelson Chamisa will today lead a tree-planting campaign as part of the party’s national SMART councils environment day. 300 trees are expected to be planted in Norton.

MDC secretary for local government, Sesel Zvidzai, said the party has adopted December 1, which is the National Tree Planting Day, as its national smart councils environment day to motivate people across the country to plant and conserve trees. Said Zvidzai:

The MDC local government strategy is enunciated through the party’s SMART PRIDES agenda, which stands for participation, reform, innovation/integrity, development/devolution, environment and services, to ensure local authorities deliver sustainable, quality service to residents in all MDC-run councils.

Beginning this weekend and into next week, all MDC-run councils will be planting trees as well as encouraging citizens to plant a tree in their environments.
