ZANU PF members in Nkayi, Matabeleland North, have reportedly taken to task villagers who received donations from opposition political parties.
Nkayi senator Chief Ndlovu (MDC Alliance) revealed this during a virtual discussion conducted by the Nkayi community parliament on Monday.
“The challenges that are there are that the ruling Zanu PF party dominates both Nkayi North and Nkayi South. When we try to introduce developmental issues we are prevented. We have had situations whereby people were questioned for accepting a donation from the opposition,” Ndlovu said.
“It does not matter if a clinic is built by Zanu PF; our children will go there and get treated. It does not matter whether Mthwakazi Republic Party builds a dam, our beasts will all go to drink there. We need to grow up. We should set the tone as Nkayi on what we can accept as communities. We should not let party issues divide us.”
He said programmes like the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) should not be monopolised by MPs.
“CDF is not given to senators; it is given to the MP. Despite political differences, the MP and senator must work together.”
Ndlovu said he had a good relationship with the Nkayi North constituents.
He condemned violence against communities whose majority would have voted for opposition candidates.
