A presidential advisor distributed funds for two constituencies in Chimanimani today. Dr. Paul Tungwarara gave twenty-five thousand dollars each to the local areas as part of empowerment and cyclone recovery efforts. Speaking to a large crowd at a business center, he promised a new clinic for war veterans and a cash-for-work program to fix public infrastructure damaged by Cyclone Idai. He issued a strong warning against misusing the money, stating that audits are underway and abuse would have serious consequences.
The advisor emphasized that the funds came directly from the President as support for development projects, not as personal handouts. He criticized past misuse of similar initiatives and demanded refunds from those who diverted vendor support money. Provincial ZANU-PF leaders echoed calls for unity and responsible use of the financing, pledging loyalty to the President. They stated the money should create jobs and grow the local economy, not benefit individuals.
Several other constituencies in Manicaland have already received their allocations, with more scheduled for next week. Local ministers and the area legislator thanked the national leadership for the assistance, stressing the need for transparency. They highlighted the region's potential for tourism investment and hotel construction to employ residents.
