'Matemadanda Should Be Ashamed Of Himself'
Former Health Minister Henry Madzorera has castigated the government for allegedly pauperising doctors and nurses who are now living on handouts from ZANU PF politicians.
This comes after Deputy Defence Minister and Gokwe Central MP Victor Matemadanda bragged after donating some food hampers to doctors and nurses at Gokwe Central Hospital earlier this week.
Madzorera told NewZimbabwe.com that the ruling elites should be ashamed of themselves for impoverishing civil servants to such an extent that they live like beggars. He said:
A country where senior politicians spend time donating things to doctors and nurses is a dead country.
Those leaders must be ashamed of themselves when they make welfare cases out of doctors and nurses.
