Hosiah Chipanga lambasts new MPs
Lloyd Shunje
MUTARE – Dangamvura-Chikanga losing
parliamentary and musician, Hosiah Chipanga has taken a dig at newly
elected legislators describing them as job seekers who went to parliament for
salaries and personal gains at the expense of the electorate.
Chipanga’s
sentiments comes at a time when the Members of Parliament (MPs) were fighting the
government’s move to stop the purchase of their luxurious vehicles channelling
the resources to the fight against cholera which has so far claimed 49 lives.
Speaking to
TellZim News Chipanga said the MPs only appeared to be representing people
before the elections.
“They only
appear to be representing the people before being elected into office, now that
they are on pay roll, they are no longer leaders but now government workers.
“They can only pay
much attention to their paymaster than to the electorate that was fooled into
believing they would be represented,” said Chipanga.
The Kwachu Kwachu
hit maker lost his parliamentary bid to MDC Alliance’s Prosper Mutseyami.
Chipanga said
the system of paying leaders warrants dereliction of duty and responsibilities
leading to the suffering of the masses.
“Going to
parliament has become a full time job for most MPs if not all. They go there
with their salary in mind and forget why they are there in the first place.
They have decided to play smart by calling what they get as allowances when in
actual fact it’s a salary.
“Most of them
are benchwarmers who only show signs of life when they are being given new cars
and their salaries,” said Chipanga.

Zanu PF lashes out at ‘sell-out’ Masvingo Urban youth

Zanu PF lashes out at ‘sell-out’ Masvingo Urban youth

…as party lines up thank you rallies

Upenyu
Chaota
Zanu PF has attacked university and college students
in Masvingo Urban for letting the party down by voting for the MDC Alliance in
the July 30 harmonised elections thereby costing it of total victory in the
province.
Speaking at an inter-district meeting at Masvingo
Polytechnic last Saturday, Zanu PF politburo member and principal director of
the Hebert Chitepo School of Ideology, Munyaradzi Machacha said students were
ungrateful for the ‘quality education’ that Zanu PF was giving them.
“We lost Masvingo Urban to MDC Alliance because of
students at tertiary institutions. They get our quality education and they go
on to betray us. They are the ones who voted for the opposition,” said
Machacha.
Machacha was in charge of the Zanu PF cell verification
process in the province in the run up to the July 30 harmonised elections.
He said despite the minor setback, the ruling party
was now looking forward to the 2023 elections.
Of the 26 parliamentary seats allocated to the
province, Zanu PF lost only one; Masvingo Urban which was won by the youthful
Jacob Nyokanhete of MDC Alliance who beat Zanu PF’s Benjaman Mazarire, a war
veteran.
Machacha said Zanu PF party had now lined up 26 thank
you rallies as a token of appreciation to its supporters.
He said the people had to be thanked for their ‘faith’
in the leadership of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s.
“Masvingo you did us proud and the President thanks
you. We should now shift our focus towards 2023 elections. But before we do
that, we should do a total of 26 thank you rallies in the province in each
constituency thanking our people for a job well done.
“There is plenty of party regalia in Harare and we
want to distribute it during these thank you rallies. We need to throw a party
for our people so that they get an appreciation of what it is like to identify
themselves with Zanu PF,” said Machacha.
Former Minister of State for Masvingo Provincial
Affairs, Josaya Hungwe said the party should be careful not to let its guard
down or it will be given a knock-out punch.
“Let us guard our party jealously because if we let
our guard down, we will be hijacked like what happened with the G40. Let us
work to protect our legacy that the new dispensation has brought about,” said
Hungwe.politics

Zanu PF ‘smuggled’ money to China for regalia


…ruling party attacks
America for blocking access to proper banking channels

Upenyu
Chaota

The ruling Zanu PF party claims that the United States
of America tried to sabotage their campaign by blocking them from wiring their
transaction to a Chinese firm which printed the party’s regalia until the party
sought ways of circumventing the restrictions and get the money to China without
detection by New York, TellZim News has heard.
Addressing an inter-district meeting last weekend at
Masvingo Polytechnic College recently, Zanu PF politburo member and principal
director of the Hebert Chitepo School of Ideology, Munyaradzi Machacha lashed
out at America for trying to effect regime change hiding behind MDC Alliance
leader, Nelson Chamisa.
It was said that the Chinese firm which printed the
Zanu PF campaign material had refused to release the regalia until they were paid,
a development which caused delays in the arrival of the regalia.
Most, if not all, global financial transactions go
through New York, and are closely monitored by the US treasury department and
CIA which have power to freeze dealings suspected to be involving sanctioned
individuals, organisations, states and terrorist movements.
Flanked by Zanu PF chief whip Pupurai Togarepi and
Senator Josaya Hungwe, Machacha declared that the United States was the real
enemy of the country and should be treated as such in any dealings the country
finds itself in with them.
Machacha narrated how America tried to sabotage and
derail the Zanu PF campaign by making sure that the payment to China failed.
“We are fighting a formidable enemy. America mukono.
Hachisi chana chidoko chaunorova mbama chochema chichimhanya kumakumbo amai
(America is a real giant; it’s not like a child one can easily beat up).
“We had a problem with regalia during our campaigning
period. The regalia was done in China and it was finished in time. The problem
came when we wanted to pay the supplier his money. He said he was not going to release
the regalia until we wired his payment into his account.
“We wired the money and it was hanging for about a
week then it reflected back into our account. We tried wiring the money again
and it spent two weeks suspended before reflecting back into our account.
“President Mnangagwa then thought of other ways of
getting the money to China, avoiding monitoring by the Americans and we
successfully delivered the money and our regalia was released but it was too
late because people had already started voting,” said Machacha.
He said that planes loaded with regalia arrived in the
country late and there were heaps of regalia awaiting distribution at the
party’s headquarters in Harare.
“You should go and tell our people that we have a lot
of regalia in Harare and it is coming. We know our people are not happy but we
will give all our Members of Parliament enough to distribute to their
respective constituencies as we celebrate our victory.
“The issue of regalia left a lot of people dejected
and we had cases where people where fighting to access it. There are plenty of
t-shirts, caps, scarfs and wrapping cloth enough for everyone and ready for
distribution,” said Machacha.
Machacha said the Americans were masters of deception;
they would put a nice face to try and get close and do their mischief.
He said the people of Zimbabwe should be extremely
cautious because America is an enemy that never forgives.
“The enemy which had for long been grabbing us by the
throat seems to be letting go. This will see our economy flowering because the
sanctions they illegally imposed on us will eventually be lifted.
“We will start to experience a better life but let me
warm you Masvingo that this enemy does not forgive. When you date America you
have to go to bed with one eye open because you never know when the enemy may
strike.
“You have to sleep with a weapon under the pillow so
that when the enemy strikes, you will have something with which to defend
yourself. Yes, Chamisa might be our enemy here but the one behind him is the greatest
and most powerful foe we ever had,” said Machacha.
He said the ‘imperialists’ who spread the red carpet for
President Mnagagwa and ‘gave him kisses’ were all wolves in sheep’s clothing,
giving reference to Libya’s fallen dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
“Look what they did to Gaddafi. Libya was flourishing
and the same Americans who pretended to be Gaddafi’s friends killed him. We
need our people to remain united so that we will not give any room to the enemy
to exploit.
“That is the strategy Zanu PF is using. If we have no
enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm,” said Machacha.top news
