Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 75805, member: 636"] Minister Owen Ncube showed up at the Kwekwe District War Veterans offices to hand out cash from the Presidential Empowerment Fund, which President Mnangagwa set up through advisor Paul Tungwarara to support liberation struggle veterans. The provincial affairs minister said the Second Republic created a whole ministry for veteran welfare, plus a War Veterans Board to hunt down investment opportunities and a league that got promoted into the Zanu-PF Politburo. Ncube praised the ex-fighters for backing Mnangagwa's economic plans and mentioned that Midlands Province pushed the conference resolution asking the president to stay in office through 2030. The initiative follows constitutional provisions that require the government to look after people who fought in the independence war or helped with political activism during that period. [/QUOTE]
