Paul Nyathi|Zanu-PF Politburo member Absolom Sikhosana has indicated that President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s rather uninspiring Second Vice President Kembo Mohadi will this weekend attempt to explain to the nation where his boss is failing to run the country.

Speaking to state media in an interview on Thursday, Sikhosana said Mohadi will address a rally at Stanley Square in Bulawayo at 2pm where he is expected to speak at length on economic challenges in the country.

“Everybody agrees that the situation we are experiencing now is a difficult one.

“When a nation experiences such hardships, it becomes important for the leadership to avail itself to the people so that they can respond to the concerns of the people.

“This will also help instil confidence by way of explaining some of the challenges that people are facing and are unable to comprehend. VP Mohadi will therefore address a rally at Stanley Square at 2pm on Sunday, where all residents of Bulawayo are invited to attend,” said Sikhosana.

He said Mohadi will answer questions and concerns from the people.

“VP Mohadi’s address will help us tackle our challenges as a nation and move in one direction with a clear understanding of where we are and where we are going.

“I’m appealing to the people of Bulawayo in their various formations, be it churches, political parties, social clubs and other institutions to come and listen to the Vice President,” said Sikhosana.
