Chiwenga fires first salvo at Chamisa

Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front vice-president Constantino Chiwenga today promised to dismantle Movement for Democratic Change Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa’s campaign in which he is promising the nation all sorts of things.

Speaking at the launch of the ZANU-PF manifesto and campaign for the 2018 elections Chiwenga described Chamisa as a juvenile politician who should concentrate on solving day-to-day problems Zimbabweans are facing instead of promising them the sky.

He asked for example why Chamisa should promise to get people to Bulawayo in 40 minutes when workers in Harare take 5 hours to get to Kuwadzana, or spaghetti roads when Harare is full of potholes.

Chamisa has promised to turn Zimbabwe into the Jewel of Africa by 2023 with first world roads, freeways, bullet trains, the best health care, superclass hotels and the finest education.
