GOVERNMENT is already working on measures to ensure food security in the wake of drought-induced hunger.
Addressing thousands of ZANU PF supporters at a star rally to drum up support for the party’s candidates in the forthcoming by-elections at Dangamvura Ground this afternoon, Vice President Constantino Chiwenga ensured the nation of sufficient food for everyone regardless of poor harvest.
More than 40 percent of the 2021/22 farming season crops are now a write-off following a long dry spell.
“We are not going to have a good season this year, but no-one will die of hunger. Government is already working on modalities to ensure that food is availed to everyone.
“We are a Government which walks its talk, and be rest assured that food will be available to everyone,” said VP Chiwenga.
VP Chiwenga called on the ruling party supporters to come out in the numbers and ensure a resounding victory for ZANU PF.
“We should come out in our numbers and vote for the party’s candidates to ensure development in our cities and lives. Most cities have suffered from neglect under the opposition and it is high time we rectify this mistake by voting for a party with a track record of success since from the days of the liberation struggle.
“Service delivery is almost non-existent in all urban areas and we want this rectified. This is done through voting overwhelmingly for ZANU PF. The party does not select anyone or places in terms of development. Infrastructure development is for everyone. We are building to ensure the development of the country,” said VP Chiwenga.
Speaking at the same occasion, ZANU PF national chairman, Cde Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri urged people of Manicaland to vote for the ruling party considering the role the province played during the liberation struggle.
“Manicaland suffered the brunt of the liberation struggle more than most provinces due to its proximity to the border with Mozambique. We should not betray the supreme sacrifices of the gallant sons and daughters of this country who fought for the liberation of this country.
“The opposition has proved to be failures as our cities are in shambles. Let us ensure that we have control of the urban areas to ensure that Zimbabweans lead comfortable lives,” said Cde Muchinguri Kashiri.
ZANU PF national secretary for finance, Cde Patrick Chinamasa hailed the unity of purpose among party cadres in Manicaland.
“The recently held provincial and primary elections saw contestation taking place among cadres, but we managed to sit down and iron out all differences and ensure that people work together. Those who were feuding during the provincial and primary elections have managed to find each other and are working together for the good of the party,” said Cde Chinamasa.
