Terrence Mawawa|As the debate on the role of the draconian Reconstruction Act in the seizure of companies, Zimbabweans have expressed mixed feelings over the chairperson of the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Mines and Energy, Temba Mliswa’s stance.
“No Hmmm @Themba Mliswa Face the nation and respond to the assertions of Mr @Mutumwa Mawere . Do you have any objections to any of his giving? Is it true that you have become a demi- God in the corridors of power? Who gives you that power?” asked one political observer.
” Hon Mliswa is a tactful politician. His style is good. The man has
national and constituency impact. He is an inspiration to the youths and a role model to MPs. His critics are envious MPs who do nothing in their
constituencies,”argued another social media user.
Wildfire argued:” I disagree, he is a rabble rouser and takes the law unto himself. Totally disrespectful, and wants to be the only one who talks. He is a bully.
Respond to the issues raised by @Mutumwa Mawere . According to
the analysis, your views are from the blind folded and unsuspecting poor people who think @Themba Mliswa is a model MP. Respond to those issues without generalizing.”
Former Gutu Central MP Oliver Chirume described Mliswa as a political turncoat who literally sings for his supper.
“There is no doubt that Mliswa is an inconsistent political figure and he cannot go against the wishes of his allies in Zanu PF.
How on earth did he land such a powerful Parliamentary Portfolio Committee post?He is part of the system and we cannot expect him to address the Hwange and SMM issues in an objective manner.
However I encourage him to respect constitutional principles and the rule of law,” said Chirume.
Chirume is also a member of Friends of Shabanie and Mashava Mines(FOSMM) a not for profit organization that was formed by Shabanie and Mashava Mines stakeholders.
