Zanu PF brought together thousands of backers yesterday at Chemhanza Grounds, Glen View South. They came to cheer for Tsitsi Tawomhera, who wants to win the April 12 special election. President Mnangagwa hopes the party can take over what used to be an opposition stronghold. The Youth League put together this big event where many important party officials showed up.
Youth Affairs boss Tino Machakaire felt sure Zanu PF would grab the seat from rivals. He pointed out how sewage runs right up to people's doors because opposition leaders failed their voters. He said only Zanu PF can fix these problems that plague urban areas. The government has started fixing roads, teaching computer skills to young people, and drilling wells for clean water.
Machakaire asked Tawomhera to team up with the people she beat in party voting. He stressed how unity helps everyone work toward the same goal. "Politics needs big numbers," he said, calling for total support behind their candidate. He also pushed for good behavior among members, saying youth should respect leaders and avoid fights.
Drug abuse came up as another concern during his talk. Machakaire is worried about young bodies damaged by harmful substances. He mentioned how many youths cannot handle family duties because they use dangerous drugs. The health of many young people keeps getting worse from these bad choices.
Harare youth chairman Emmanuel Mahachi talked about learning from past mistakes. He urged voters to make smart choices by picking "your child," Tawomhera. The candidate promised she would bring everyone together and help the area grow better. She asked locals to back Zanu PF for real community progress.
Provincial chairman Godwills Masimirembwa expressed total faith in winning. He claimed victory was certain since no real competition existed. The party picked 37-year-old Tawomhera from the National Youth League leadership as their standard-bearer. Four other candidates from different groups will run against her.
The position opened up when Gladymore Hakata from the CCC party died recently. Interestingly, the CCC decided not to field anyone for this election. Tawomhera faces competition from NCA party member Perpetua Mukanda and three people running without party backing: Chakeredza Tonderai, Tungamirai Madzokere, and George Makwangwaidze.
