By A Correspondent| Zanu-PF Political Commissar Victor Matemadanda has mocked the opposition saying they always accuse the ruling party of interfering in their internal divisions, saying they are failing on their own.

Addressing the Bulawayo Provincial Co-ordinating Committee (PCC) at Davies Hall in Bulawayo, following Saturday’s primary elections, Matemadanda said the opposition game plan is to shift blame as opposed to addressing issues the MDC is facing.

“Whenever there are divisions in the opposition, they want to blame Zanu-PF. Even when they violate their own constitution, they want to blame Zanu-PF. When the Supreme Court says they violated their constitution, they want to blame Zanu-PF. So, you should not stop assisting the people thinking that there is going to be another party which will help them. All the people belong to Zanu-PF as you can see that other parties are failing on their own,” he said.

Matemadanda warned candidates that being selected to represent the electorate is not a window for looting.

“Being a councillor is voluntary work. It means as a councillor you are the one who gives the public as opposed to you getting things from the people. That is why in the past those who vied for the council position used to own properties. But nowadays some people think being a councillor is a full-time job. Some people being elected want so many benefits but as a party if we hear that a Zanu-PF elected councillor is involved in stands grabbing, we will fire you while court processes take place. If you take what is supposed to benefit the people, you should know that you must be fired,” said Matemadanda.

He said while the ruling party is initiating development projects at grassroot levels, the opposition wants to cause anarchy through unsanctioned demonstrations.
