By Paul Nyathi|MDC-T President Nelson Chamisa who is also the MDC Alliance coalition Presidential candidate in the upcoming elections takes his country wide campaigns to Matabeleland South this week.

Chamisa who over the weekend called off rallies scheduled for Mberengwa and Zvishavane to give way to the MDC-T primary elections will be in the Matabeleland South capital, Gwanda, on Africa Day.

Most opposition political parties dread holding rallies in Gwanda town which does not normally provide the huge numbers.

Only former President Robert Mugabe normally filled up the stadium due to the financial backing on state resources that were used to bus people from around the Matabeleland South districts.

Before the rally in Gwanda, Chamisa will hold another rally in Maphisa growth point a few kilometres away from the notorious Bhalagwe Gukurahundi Concentration Camp where thousands of victims are buried in the disused mine.

No political party has ever held a major rally in the area since the Joshua Nkomo PF ZAPU era.
