War veterans in Masvingo have outrightly rejected President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s borehole and solar project, calling it a late and insincere gesture.

Speaking in Masvingo on Thursday after attending Mrs Auxillia Mnangagwa’s rally, one former freedom fighter expressed frustration: “This project is only meant to hoodwink us.

Why did it take so long to implement? They are doing this because war veterans are saying enough is enough.”

Another veteran, Cde Hokoyo Puruvheya, added, “Personally, I will not accept the offer because it is insincere.”

Cde Sub Mudondo also criticized the initiative, stating, “Mnangagwa is taking us for granted. We don’t want boreholes; we want the country to move forward.”

However, Paul Tungwarara, who is leading the programme, defended the project, stating: “The Presidential War Veterans Fund has been expanded, with the solar and borehole program now extended to all war veterans across the ten provinces.”
