Independent legislator for Norton Temba Mliswa has said that he will be voting for President Emmerson Mnangagwa in the July 30 elections. Mliswa also said that he expects Mnangagwa to appoint him as a cabinet minister after the elections citing that most of his appointments are incompetent. Addressing delegates at a Zimbabwe Election Resource Support Network (Zesn) policy conference Mliswa said,
My vote is going for ED in 2018, and everybody must know that, but I also expect ED to appoint me as a minister. What we want is good governance and good people coming in. I was very disappointed that ED was not able to appoint people who had capacity when the people’s revolution happened, there are people who have capacity outside Zanu PF who can serve this country honestly and diligently.
Mliswa then retracted the statement saying that he had been joking after APA leader Nkosana Moyo said that he was running a side campaign to be appointed as minister.
