Vivian Viyo Siziba from Zapu told voters at Nkulumane Hall that people complaining about garbage services while skipping civic meetings are basically shooting themselves in the foot. The candidate dropped his warning during a debate set up by the Centre for Innovation and Technology alongside resident groups, saying empty school meetings and zero turnout at community gatherings kill any chance of getting stuff done.
Siziba went after the constitutional extension talk floating around Zanu PF that would stretch presidential terms until 2030, claiming that kind of power grab messes with everything from water projects to basic delivery. He pointed out how Matabeleland South Senator Nonhlanhla Mlotshwa fought against a sketchy second border post in Gwanda as proof that making noise actually works when politicians try pulling fast ones.
The candidate told residents to show up at budget hearings and hold MPs accountable since elected officials are not spending their personal cash to fix potholes, and private healthcare bills hitting thousands of dollars prove the system needs serious oversight from engaged citizens who vote consistently.
