As the 2023 harmonized elections draw closer, Zaka North Zanu PF candidate Ophias Murambiwa popularly known as Maga Maga is confident of a clean sweep and has sweet promises for the Zaka community.
Murambiwa is the sitting MP for Zaka West and was moved to Zaka North after the collapse of Zaka West by the delimitation exercise.
50 year old Murambiwa says he is Zaka North’s preferred candidate because of the good works he had done for Zaka West which include construction of a dip tank, bridge, and clinic and registry office.
“In Zaka West ward 17, I facilitated for construction of Bvumbura Dip Tank, Chenyu Bridge in ward 22, a development that help school children who were failing to cross to Muchokwa Primary School during the rainy season,”
“In ward 23 I used Constituency Development Fund (CDF) and devolution funds to construct Mudzara Secondary School and Charuka Clinic in ward 24 and a number of road maintenance programmes in the constituency,” said Murambiwa.
Murambiwa said his goal when he gets another term in office was to address road and mobile network issues in Zaka North as well as putting electricity in schools and clinics and other government institutions,
“When I get into office I want to first address road networks because of the terrain in Zaka, the roads are damaged by rains so I will make sure we re-gravel all roads in Zaka North constituency.
“After that I will focus on electricity issues, most schools in Zaka North like Chirara, Chivingwi Primary and Secondary Schools do not have electricity,”
“Zaka North is mountainous and mobile network is a challenge, as we speak, we are working on the erection of a booster in Jichidza area and the project is almost complete,”
“We also have water challenges in Zaka North so I will try to implement the president’s vision to have a borehole for every village and have solarized boreholes in COMMUNITY gardens,” said Murambiwa.
Murambiwa will contest with Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) candidate Zanga Munyaradzi.
