Cyclone Idai: Mnangagwa Meet the People Rally Cancelled

The Meet the People Rally that was scheduled for Saturday at Chachacha Growth Point in Shurugwi has been cancelled due to Cyclone Idai.

In a statement, Zanu-PF Midlands provincial spokesperson Cornelius Mpereri said a new date will be announced in due course. Mpereri said the rally was cancelled because Zimbabwe has been plunged into mourning by the devastating effects of Cyclone Idai. Said Mpereri:

The Zanu-PF Midlands department of Information and Publicity wishes to advise the province that our intended Presidential Meet the People Rally which was scheduled for the 23rd of March at Chachacha Growth Point has been postponed until further notice. This is due to the fact that the nation has been plunged into mourning by the devastating effects of Cyclone Idai. Our President ED Mnangagwa saw it fit to concentrate all efforts, energy and resources towards assisting our fellow citizens who were affected by the cyclone.
