He said the revolutionary party’s policies were the best form of empowerment.
Mr Kashambe said this while touring some of the developmental projects he initiated in Seke under the Maworesa Seke Community projects recently.
“There can never be another party that has people’s interests like Zanu-PF as evidenced by the indigenisation and empowerment drive that the party has embarked on,” he said.
“It is because of such revolutionary policies by Zanu-PF that we have managed to introduce such projects in this area. We have seen a lot of people benefiting from these developmental projects here. They are working very hard and it’s now paying off.”
Mr Kashambe who hails from Seke called on Government to avail more resources for empowerment projects.
“There are several projects that we have introduced among them piggery, chickens, gardening and sowing but land is the greatest challenge. We also want Government to help us access loans from financial institutions because at the moment they are dilly-dallying.”
He said they were in talks with contract grower companies to engage locals for more projects.
Beneficiaries of the projects said their lives had changed when they started the programmes.
“Since we started this chicken project we have seen our families’ lives changing in a way that we never anticipated,” said Mrs Sarah Hama who partners Ms Rodah Kafambe in the project.
“Now we can afford to pay school fees for our children. We can fend for the family and we are also able to meet some of our family requirements.”
Cde Ernest Chinyanga, a member of the Chinyanga market gardening, described Zanu-PF policies as ideologically correct.
“We have managed to fend for our families because of the empowerment projects that have been availed to us. What we need are irrigation facilities so that our projects can become more viable,” he said.
Cde Chinyange said they were supplying vegetables to Mbare and Chikwanha markets.
