Acting MDC President, Thokozani Khupe, over the weekend led thousands of marchers in Bulawayo, where she took a swipe at Zanu PF’s million man march as a celebration of ‘one man’s longevity and the continued suffering of the Zimbabwean people.’
The former trade unionist who is fluent in Ndebele, Shona and English had the crowd cheering as she addressed issues which resonate with their daily struggles.
Khupe who stood in for her boss Morgan Tsvangirai currently hospitalised over an undisclosed illness said, “Zanu PF’s grand political corruption seen through their looting of 15 Billion US Dollars from Chiadzwa and their self-servicing policies hiding behind indigenization has chased away all potential investors from our country.”
She further implored party supporters to remain resilient in the face of insurmountable challenges they are faced with, “Through this public march, Zimbabweans are saying NO to bond notes, business is saying NO to bond notes, so why does the Zanu PF government want to continue to introduce these so called bond notes against the will of the people?”
She said the Zanu PF government must deal with the economy by creating the right environment for business so that the people get back to work. That way we can export a lot of goods again and earn the much needed foreign currency and move our country forward.
