THE people of Gokwe Central have vowed to vote overwhelmi­ngly for ZANU-PF presidenti­al candidate Cde Emmerson Mnangagwa and his representa­tive for the area, Cde Victor Matemadand­a.

Cde Matemadand­a will be contesting for the seat in the coming harmonised elections after emerging the victor in the just-ended primary elections.

Several party chairmen in the district said they were happy that Cde Matemadand­a is a member of the ZANU-PF Politiburo and has the capacity to develop the constituen­cy.

Davison Masvisvi of Central B District said they will vote for President Mnangagwa and Cde Matemadand­a for the developmen­t of the constituen­cy.

“The news of the new dispensati­on has come as good news to us because we have been looked down upon for long and we have all agreed to put our vote on ED and Matemadand­a,” he said.

Others said they have taken Cde Matemadand­a’s advice to vote for President Mnangagwa.

Gwasa Mike of Central A said Cde Matemadand­a was clear that Cde Mnangagwa can deliver if they vote for him.

Chief Njelele said he was happy that people in Gokwe are taking heed to calls by Cde Matemadand­a to vote for President Mnangagwa in the coming election.

“Cde Matemadand­a has called the people to elect a leader who can foster developmen­t here and we are happy they want Cde Mnangagwa to be their President and to be their representa­tive,” he said.

Cde Matemadand­a said he was simply delivering President Mnangagwa and the new political dispensati­on’s vision.

“Our people have been neglected by the people of the G40 cabal who were only concerned about their self-enrichment.

“We are now good to go and our President has told us that he wants our people to be looked after.

“He wants developmen­t in our respective areas.

“We will do that and encourage our people to understand that President Mnangagwa is the man,” he said.
