Zimbabwe’s government, which is run by a globe trotting President, has completely nothing to offer for its people, as revealed by one of recently appointed Masvingo’s Provincial Affairs Minister Shuvai Mahofa.
While Mugabe is busy complicating the operations of Non-Governmental Organisations, his colleagues are bleeding from inside, as the donor funding is the only gateway to Zimbabwe’s economic woes.
Addressing Gutu East community this weekend, Shuvai Mahofa said, “It’s something really wonderful, in such remote areas that you keep helping the disadvantaged people help. Please continue giving the help that you started, we can only survive through you donors.” Minister Mahofa was applauding Oxfam and its partners, who have come to the rescue of Zimbabwean community with rural sustainable energy through developmental projects. Zimbabwe’s head of state is well known for denigrating NGOs, but never substituted their services, with whatever he promised. The Zimbabwean electorate are still waiting for promised deliveries after 2013 elections, which most people said were peacefully rigged, as nothing has come out of promised ZimAsset. The Gutu East project was funded by the European Union focusing on promoting enterprise development through increased uptake for solar energy products by poor and marginalised communities.
“Members of Parliament for Masvingo told me of the situation, and I saw it for myself when I was coming here. People’s lives are in danger, because of this drought,” said Mahofa, while praising the NGOs efforts to improve lives of the neglected community who are only remembered during election time. Gutu East MP Berita Chikwama also concurred with Mahofa, as she echoed the same sentiments of NGOs looking after the community than the Government.
“There is drought in the area, and we thank all NGOs organisations for their efforts in improving the lives of people. You have rekindled the lost hope to the people. I want to thank Oxfam, EU, French deputy Ambassador and Practical Action. We appreciate what you are doing. NGOs please keep on helping Gutu people to serve them from this poverty.” Said Chikwama.[lightbox link=”http://www.zimeye.com/wp-content/live_images//2015/04/shuvai-mahofa.jpg” thumb=”http://www.zimeye.com/wp-content/live_images//2015/04/shuvai-mahofa-180×232.jpg” width=”180″ align=”none” title=”shuvai-mahofa” frame=”true” icon=”image” caption=””]
