MDC Youth Assembly National leadership today graced Bikita Ward 31 in Masvingo to drum up support for party candidate, Moses Maphosa in the upcoming by-election.

The event which was held adjacent to Chikuku Business Centre was also part of belated Day of African Child commemorations for Masvingo province.

Speaking at the event Youth Assembly National Chairman Obey Sithole said it was quite regrettable that 39 years after independence Bikita is still a bedrock of ZANU PF authored poverty.

Sithole said despite abundance of minerals like lithium in the area, Bikita still lags behind in terms of development due to looting and mismanagement by corrupt ZANU PF officials like Engelbert Rugeje who have strong influence in Community Share Ownership Trust funds.

Cde Luther as Sithole is affectionately known also warned ZANU PF against selective distribution of food aid or else face the wrath of angry citizens.

Today’s program was in sync with the Assembly’s agenda of penetrating, mobilizing and radicalizing rural areas.
