Terrence Mawawa | Outspoken social media analyst Antony Taruvinga believes MDC leader Nelson Chamisa will beat President Emmerson Mnangagwa by a wide margin in the coming polls because of his remarkable achievements in and outside the party.
“I have seen some questions raised in form of some stupid jibes on Nelson Chamisa’s accomplishment in Kuwadzana Constituency.
I know that those asking are Zanu PF goons on
payroll, who are determined to soil the image of our
Presidential candidate by peddling falsehoods.
I have been thinking hard on whether to give them a
response or let a lying toothless dog bark until it
runs out of oxygen. I have decided to give out my
response not for their benefit but for the benefit of
party supporters
who may not have a clear history of Nelson Chamisa
as Member of Parliament for Kuwadzana
Constituency,” wrote Taruvinga.
“Nelson Chamisa is the best MP Zimbabwe has ever
had since 1980. I have always told people that the
late Morgan Tsvangirai and Nelson Chamisa inspired
me to join the struggle way back in 2000.
I always
learn from the best not the burst. That’s why even up
to this day, a mere thought of Dr. Morgan Tsvangirai
(RIP) comes with uncontrollable tears.
Nelson Chamisa does what is supposed to be done
as MP despite socio-economic challenges facing
Zimbabwe. He is not a back bencher in Parliament,
actually one would think that he is either the chief
whip or the leader of opposition in Parliament.
He periodically gives feedback to residents
of his constituency,” added Taruvinga.
“Below is part of the achievements, that I know
myself, not all, by Nelson Chamisa in his
constituency:
1. Successful feedback mechanism in the
constituency, with regular meetings of all residents
monthly and consistently, and 3 rallies annually in
line with our social democratic values as MDC-T.
2.We have a thriving Kuwadzana New Zimbabwe
upliftment fund for women in SMEs.
3.The MP scholarship fund for the girl child targeting
orphaned and child headed households.
4. More boreholes per capita than any other area.
5. Sponsorship of prizes to excelling schools and
school pupils.
6. Computerization and internet connection for
Kuwadzana schools.
7. Furnishing Kuwadzana 2 Community hall.
8. Sewing machines for women’s clubs in
Kuwadzana.
9 . Supporting youths through the Chamisa stars of
all age groups under the sports academy.
10. A functional widows ‘forum and senior citizens
forum.
11. Mobilized well wishers for the tarring of roads
and pothole-filling in Kuwadzana.
12. Supporting the home industry in infrastructure
and amenities.
13.The MP’s contributions in Parliament need no
further elaboration.
14. Completed the construction of a state of the art
Kuwadzana Library after mobilizing over US$80 000 from
donors, a feat not achieved in any other
constituency since 1980,” argued Taruvinga.
