Emmerson Mnangagwa regime’s failure to declare Binga floods a national disaster clearly exposes ZANU PF politics of tribalism, regionalism and marginalization.

Ironically the very same regime which is mum on the Binga disaster was last year quick to declare the Chimanimani Cyclone Idai disaster a national disaster.

It is clear that Binga is being punished by the ruling party for consistently voting for opposition parties since independence.

A government declaration for a national disaster in Binga surely would have eased the humanitarian crisis with the world turning its attention to this community which has been marginalized since time immemorial.

The failure of government to loud the Binga disaster further unmasks ZANU PF’s politics of pretense and lies.

Clearly the marginalization of Binga exposes ZANU PF failure on nation building.

ZANU PF’s failure to pay privy details and attention to the humanitarian crisis in Binga further confirms its detachment from people.

Mnangagwa’s carefree attitude towards the suffering lays naked lack of social contract between his government and the people.

Here is a man who overtly parades that he is only answerable to the military and not the masses!

Credit should be given to our MDC Councilors and MPs for taking a leading role in helping Binga flood victims.

Indeed we are a viable alternative!
