Cde Shamu said no politician should interfere with the programme, being spearheaded by traditional leaders. Zimplats recently ceded 10 percent of its stake to communities.
Zanu-PF, he said, will soon construct the Grace Mugabe Bakery at Neuso Business Centre in honour of the First Lady’s contribution to the constituency.
“Plans are at an advanced stage and the First Lady is the one who made huge contributions a few years ago. There will be employment opportunities and we hope the bakery will help many people.”
Cde Shamu had no kind words for MDC-T led councils accused of allegedly embezzling ratepayers’ mon-ey at the expense of service delivery.”It is time for you to make an introspection when we go for the next elections.
“The MDC-T people you chose to represent you have failed to do anything in terms of service delivery. All you hear is the embezzlement of funds countrywide,” he said.

Turning to the election preparations, Cde Shamu reiterated that Zanu-PF would not tolerate the imposition of candidates.
“Make your own choices. Don’t be influenced by material things. The political leadership should not impose candidates because this would destroy the party,” he said.
Mukwati district chairman Mr Emidio Magwara appealed to Cde Shamu for food assistance.
“I would also want to thank President Mugabe for the inputs he recently gave us. They were distributed equitably among members of different political parties and will go a long way in alleviating poverty,” he said.
Cde Shamu donated an ambulance, 15 bicycles and over 170 bags of maize meal to the villagers.
The ambulance will be used by the people in Neuso and the surrounding communities who were travelling long distances ferrying people in scotchcarts and wheel barrows to major referral hospitals such as St Michaels.
The villagers also benefited from over 10 tonnes of maize from the Grain Marketing Board, which they would return after the harvests.
