By Talent Gondo | Zanu Pf’s Gamatox has endorsed MDC Alliance President, Nelson Chamisa, promising to campaign and vote for him in the forthcoming 2018 plebiscite.
Addressing an MDC Alliance rally in Chiweshe Sunday, former Zanu Pf stalwart, who was also Masvingo Provincial Affairs Minister, Kudakwashe Bhasikiti, who recently defected to the MDC Alliance said the faction was fully behind Chamisa and would mobilise support for him to romp to victory in the 2018 elections.
“I was sent by gamatox. The faction said Chamisa is the one.
“G40 was made out of that faction and it was the real Zanu Pf and it said we want a 40 year old to rule. Chamisa is 40,” said Bhasikiti.
He revealed that G40 was fully behind Chamisa adding that it was high time the country was run by a youthful leader.
“The youths should take charge. You haven’t seen nothing yet. You will see that all G40 are for Chamisa,” said Bhasikiti, to the cheers of Alliance supporters.
Bhasikiti alleged that President Emmerson Mnangagwa’ s administration had stolen from G40 through the soldiers’ actions.
Bhasikiti hailed Chamisa as a visionary, whose promises would translate into reality.
“Chamisa is a visionary. When he talks about bullet trains, the blind don’t see it but it is possible,” he said.
Bhasikiti’ s statements come in the wake of revelations that there is massive disgruntlement within Zanu Pf, following the ouster of former President Robert Mugabe and his wife Grace and the G40 cabal.
A new political outfit, the National Patriotic Front (NPF) led by Retired Brigadier General Ambrose Mutinhiri was also birthed from Zanu Pf, where Mutinhiri justified the formation of his party on the grounds that Zanu Pf had diverted from its founding principles and values while it’s current leadership was in office illegally.
