A massive show of support unfolded in Ward 39, Bhasera, as Gutu East Constituents gathered for a high-energy Zanu PF star rally in support of the party’s 14 June by-elections candidate, Cde Zvarevashe Masvingise.

The rally drew supporters from across the constituency, with party faithfuls chanting slogans and waving banners in what was described as a vibrant endorsement of the man they are confident will become their next Member of Parliament.

Among the dignitaries in attendance was Zanu PF National Political Commissar, Cde Munyaradzi Machacha, who expressed the party’s confidence in a decisive victory come Election Day.

“Our candidate, Cde Masvingise, has the full backing of the Party and the people. We are not just sending a man to Parliament but we are sending a servant of the people ready to carry forward the legacy of our revolution and President Mnangagwa’s vision for Zimbabwe,” said Cde Machacha.

Speaking at the rally, recently, Gutu East Constituency Zanu PF candidate, Zvarevashe Masvingise pledged to deliver development anchored on the National Development Strategy 1 and 2, and vowed to serve the people with integrity and focus.

“Gutu East is ready to fulfill His Excellency President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa’s vision. There will be no compromise on service delivery. I have studied all the relevant blueprints from NDS1, NDS2 and going forward, the people themselves will be the book I read in order to leave no one and no place behind,” said Cde Masvingise.

Masvingo Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister, Cde Ezra Chadzamira, echoed the party’s confidence, declaring that the turnout at the rally was a clear indicator of the Party’s strength.

“If you want to know whether ZANU PF will win, just look at the attendance, especially the women. We are the Party that gave people land and we are committed to delivering basic services like tap water. That is why we urge everyone to come out in full force on 14 June and vote for Cde Masvingise,” said CdeChadzamira.

Cde Machacha wrapped up his address with a reminder of the Party’s historical mandate and the ongoing work to empower citizens.

“We stand with Cde Masvingise because we stand with the revolution. The President is working hard to empower the youth, women, war veterans, and every Zimbabwean. As you go to the polls, remember that your future is safest with Zanu PF,” he said.

The Gutu East by-election will see Cde Masvingise battle it out against independent candidate Gift Gonese and Zivanai Nzvengaof the National Constitutional Assembly (NCA). With the partymachinery fully activated, Zanu PF is confident of another landslide victory.
