President Emmerson Mnangagwa has chided opposition political parties saying they are mere curtain raisers in the July 30 elections.

Addressing Zanu PF supporters in Gokwe today Mnangagwa has described Zimbabwe as a democratic nation in which individuals are free to exercise their constitutional rights.

“We have so many pretenders in this race but as you know I am the main man in the polls.

We really need these curtain raisers because they are just like those who provide entertainment at traditional ceremonies. Can you hold a traditional ceremony without incorporating entertainers?

Tell your relatives who have decided to leave the ruling party to come back home,” said Mnangagwa.

He also boasted of the ruling party’s massive support in Midlands Province.
