Farai Dziva|The MDC Youth Assembly has challenged Zanu PF to stop insulting suffering Zimbabweans through meaningless donations.
See full statement below :
At a time when the country is grappling with the deadly Corona virus, ZANU PF MPs instead chose to grandstand and politick by donating a paltry portion of their salaries ‘towards fighting Covid-19’.
It is very imperative that beyond these farcical donations, citizens should have it in mind that these are the same MPs from a party that has been looting the national cake since 1980.
These are the very same MPs who remain tight-lipped when the leader of their looting committee, Emmerson Mnangagwa hires a US multi million dollar luxurious Saudi plane just to fly from Harare to Bulawayo when he is in Kwekwe.
Remember the US 10 million mausoleum Mnangagwa wanted to build for a corpse!
The multi-million state of the art luxurious plane Mnangagwa hired for Grace Mugabe just to bury her mother!
What of the missing US3 billion from a Command Agriculture program that was run direct from Emmerson Mnangagwa’s office?
By Robert Mugabe’s own admission, these are the very same people that have answers to the missing US15 billion Marange diamond money.
Amongst the donating ZANU PF MPs, there is one from Gokwe-Nembudziya who recently bought the latest US 1 million Lamborghini top of the range vehicle.
Ironically his name is Justice.
Certainly there is no justice in donation of a mere RTGS 1000 by the very same people who stole our future and that of generations to come.
These are the very same people who presided over the transformation of what used to be a breadbasket to a basket case scenario.
Before we ululate over these decoy donations, maybe it is time to ask what happened to the 2% money we were taxed by Mthuli Ncube!
If anything, the ZANU PF MPs donations are akin to that of a thief who steals all your inheritance only to come back with a coffin on your funeral!
While it looks like a noble initiative at face value, it is also not mendacious that beneath these plunderers’ ‘giving’ hand there is a clandestine agenda beyond fighting Covid-19.
Clearly the donations are a veneer to shroud the looting of our vast mineral wealth by ZANU PF cartels.
These are the same people that have brought Zimbabwe to its knees through corruption and mismanagement.
As MDC we have said it way back that Zimbabwe needs to create a Sovereign Wealth Fund especially given her vast and rich mineral wealth.
Such a fund would go a long way in averting a crisis in times of natural disasters and pandemics like Covid-19.
Maybe that is the reason why countries like Botswana can afford to declare a 6 months lockdown while at the same time providing for her citizens.
Zimbabwe deserves better than crumbs from ZANU PF MPs table!
Stay safe from Corona virus, Zimbabwe needs you!
