MDC ALLIANCE ASSEMBLY OF WOMEN DISTRIBUTES FOOD HAMPERS TO ITS NEEDY MEMBERS

“Blessed is the hand that
giveth especially this festive season”. The MDC Alliance Assembly of women led by Acting Chairperson Hon Machirairwa Mugidho will tomorrow the 31st of December distribute food hampers to its needy members from its four provinces namely Harare, Bulawayo, Masvingo and Mashonaland Central. The food hampers were donated by the UK & Ireland Assembly of Women led by Chairperson Hellena Gusinyu. They embarked on the massive project of mobilising donations that enabled the purchasing of groceries for the less privileged families in Zimbabwe. Many thanks go to the fellow comrades in the diaspora who donated towards the humpers.

The UK and Ireland spokesperson, Tecla Bandawe, had this to say, “Though 2020 had been a difficult year we soldier on as the enemy continues to pursue us.” She also reiterated that the Covid-19 global pandemic did not spare them and also members & supporters of the MDCA that are being harassed & persecuted, the recalling of our MPs & Councillors by Thokozani Khupe to the heartless demolition of houses, ordered by Minister of local government July Moyo which left families vulnerable & homeless during this rainy season”. On the other hand, the Chairperson Ms Gusinyu urged Zimbabweans at large to continue to fight for better livelihoods, political and electoral reforms before 2023″

Hon Mugidho also had this to say,”The hampers may not be enough for every deserving member but the Assembly felt that it was our responsibility as a mothers to give to the needy so that they also put a smile on their faces.” She admitted that almost everyone in Zimbabwe need food due to the sinking economy which has been run down by Emmerson Mnangagwa but their hands were short since they are also struggling to make ends meet.

Hon Mugidho will be accompanied by members of her Management Committee and also members of the Assembly of Women Executive committee.
