MASVINGO – All roads will lead to Mucheke stadium in Masvingo on Sunday August 14 where Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa is expected to deliver a special massage to his supporters.
The party’s deputy spokesperson Gift Ostallos Siziba confirmed the development saying preparations were at an advanced stage.
Siziba said they are expecting a bumper crowd at Mucheke stadium since Masvingo is Chamisa’s stronghold.
“The president will be in Masvingo at Mucheke stadium on Sunday. All is in place and we are putting final touches as we programme. We are expecting a bumper crowd to fill the stadium to the brim,” said Siziba
He went on to call all ‘Citizens’ in Masvingo to come and meet their leader saying he had a key massage that he wants to deliver to the people.
“We are calling for every citizen in Masvingo to come to Mucheke Stadium, president Chamisa has a key message that he wants to share with them so they have to come and hear it for themselves,” he said.
Apart from delivering the key massage, Siziba also said Chamisa wanted to thank Masvingo people for supporting and voting for CCC in the March by-elections which saw the party winning all the four wards that were contested for in Masvingo Urban.
“The president will also take the opportunity to thank Masvingo for voting CCC in the previous elections where we won resoundingly,” said Siziba
CCC Provincial Administrator Mandivenga Matutu said police clearance has already been sought for and everything was in order for the rally and said several preparatory meetings were held locally and everything is in place.
“We have police clearance and now everything is in order,” said Matutu
Other sources said mobilization was underway and currently they were doing road shows roadshows as well as door to door engagements.
The opposition used to have challenges in getting clearances to hold rallies around the country with the police giving excuses such as shortage of manpower or claiming that the venue was already booked for another event.
