All set for VP Chiwenga Byo rallies
ALL is set for Zanu-PF Bulawayo province rallies to be addressed by Vice-President Dr Constantino Chiwenga today and tomorrow.
Zanu-PF Bulawayo provincial secretary for administration Cde Elifasi Mashaba yesterday urged party members to attend the rallies in numbers, as the party moves to strengthen its support base in the province.
“This is the reason why the VP is coming directly where the people are. The party has gone through an introspection period and we are now campaigning through the cells. We are saying the party ebantwini/ musangano kuvanhu. And this is what the VP is doing. He is coming to see the people in their cells,” said Cde Mashaba.
Cde Mashaba said the Vice-President will hold four rallies and the first one this morning will be held at Nketa grounds, covering Bulawayo South, Nketa and Nkulumane constituencies.
Later in the day, Dr Chiwenga will also hold another rally in Cowdray Park in the new stands covering Luveve and Entumbane-Makhandeni constituencies.
Cde Mashaba said the rallies will continue tomorrow.
“On Monday he will have another rally in Pumula at the open space near Pumula Hall. The people from Magwegwe constituency are also expected to attend. The VP will then proceed to Lobengula-Njube and Mpopoma constituencies and the rally for the two constituencies will be held at Lobengula grounds near Nkanyezi Primary School,” said Cde Mashaba.
He challenged Bulawayo residents to come in their numbers at these rallies to hear for themselves Government’s development programmes for the city and beyond.
Cde Mashaba, who is contesting the Nketa National Assembly seat, said he will also be donating 40 computers to promote e-learning today.
He said the computers will be donated to local libraries and on the same day they will launch the youth driving lessons empowerment project.
Cde Mashaba said to spice up today’s events, he has organised big screens for residents to watch the Soccer World Cup final pitting France and Croatia at the Nketa grounds. He urged residents to come in their numbers to watch the match. — @nqotshili
