Former CCC MP Advocate Fadzayi Mahere has slammed the national budget presented by Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube on Thursday, calling it “anti-people.”

In a statement shared on X, Mahere remarked:
“Don’t you dare claim you’re taxing chicken and chips for ‘health reasons’ when you are the first to distribute them at your rallies.”

She went on to ask:
“Why weren’t you handing out apples and water?

You ignore people’s health when buying votes, then pretend to care when you impose ridiculous taxes on citizens after stealing everything.

Your budget is anti-people, anti-productivity, and anti-progress. It’s a disaster.”
