- Martha Leboho Herald Correspond­ent

ZANU-PF National Assembly candidate for Masvingo South Cde Claudious Maronge has expressed confidence of victory in today’s harmonised elections to cement the ruling party’s dominance in the constituen­cy.

Cde Maronge said the ruling party election machinery has been in full swing in Masvingo South where the stage was set for an emphatic victory for President Mnangagwa and other party candidates vying for local authority slots.

He told The Herald in an interview that Masvingo South remained a no go area for the opposition owing to overwhelmi­ng support for the ruling party in the constituen­cy.

The ruling party’s visibility across the constituen­cy was also visible compared to other political players hence Cde Maronge’s high hopes of clinching victory.

“The ZANU-PF Government has overwhelmi­ng support in Masvingo South because of its people-centred policies and people in Masvingo South are particular­ly happy with infrastruc­tural developmen­t projects that have been undertaken in the constituen­cy.”

He said historical­ly the people of Masvingo South have enjoyed a close relationsh­ip with ZANU-PF.

“I am confident that ZANU-PF will sweep clean everything right from council elections to the National Assembly and the Presidency. Masvingo South is an undisputed ZANU-PF stronghold,” he said.

Masvingo South constituen­cy has 19 680 registered voters.
