PF Sesheke candidates confident

- By ANDREW MUKOMA in Sesheke

PATRIOTIC Front (PF) Sesheke adopted candi- dates for parliament­ary and council chairmansh­ip Shaft Mukubesa and Henry Muzungu respective­ly have predicted victory in the Au- gust 12 general elections.

The duo has thanked the ruling party leadership both at national and provincial levels for adopting them from among other candi- dates who had applied on ruling party ticket.

In a joint interview in Se- sheke after launching their campaigns, Mr Mukubesa said that the people of Ses- heke deserved quality lead- ership and not what had been happening previously.

Mr Mukubesa said that be- cause of voting for the oppo- sition UPND for many years, the area had lagged behind in developmen­t.

He said time has come for the people of Sesheke to re- deem themselves and move out of UPND captivity.

"Now that we are done with nomination­s, we are hitting the ground and make more votes for the president and win the elections at all levels without fail.

In fact, if the elections were called today, I can as- sure you I was going to carry the day. I have already won this election whether the UPND wants it or not. When I look at this election, I don't have a competitor, I am the true son of Sesheke," he said.

And Mr Muzungu who is contesting the position of Council Chairperso­n said people of Sesheke need clean water and that that would be his priority.

"People have suffered for too long without clean wa- ter and sanitation. We need Sesheke to be neaty thereby opening up roads in all the township and also ensure the allocation plots will done transparen­tly," he said.

Mr Muzungu promised to work hand in hand with his parliament­ary candidate in fostering developmen­t in the area.
