I am focused: Tungwarara

Paul Tungwarara

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa’s special investment adviser, Paul Tungwarara, has said he is committed to supporting the President’s vision for Zimbabwe to attain an upper-middle-income economy by 2030.

Tungwarara attended Rusununguko Branch in ward 6 at the Gaza primary cell verification exercise, where he is a registered voter. The exercise focused on strengthening grassroots structures through intensified membership recruitment and updating the party’s database.

Making a low-key arrival with Zanu PF provincial chairperson Tawanda Mukodza and Chipinge district co-ordinating committee chairperson Temba Munayiwa, Tungwarara initially avoided the Press. “Remember, this is not the day to speak to the Press. I have just come to check my name in my ward or cell,” he said.

Eventually responding to journalists, Tungwarara spoke about his empowerment projects. 

“The empowerment is still ongoing. It has not stopped; it’s just that the leadership and the commissariat department want proper structures,” he explained. 

“People were collecting money without proper records of how it was being used. We must have a proper structure. Once done, you will see 

improvement; our secretary-general of the party is putting proper structures in place.”

Addressing social media attacks, he said: “I don't have time to respond to social media, but if you are not being attacked, you are not doing anything. They may appear to attack me, but they are attacking vision of 2030. Let's stay focused and support the vision. Manicaland, let's remain united and support President Mnangagwa. Be wise against those who use divide-and-rule methods.”

Mukodza commended members for participating despite busy schedules. “I am happy with the turnout. Those who did not attend had genuine reasons such as funerals or work. This important event helped us to gauge the grassroots support base, which remains strong for our colossus party, Zanu PF,” he said.
