Masvingo businessman and Zanu-PF member Cde Eddison Zvobgo Jnr, has donated an office complex to the revolutionary party to be used as provincial headquarters.The party does not have its own building to house its provincial headquarters in Masvingo.
It was leasing offices from suspended Zanu-PF provincial secretary for administration and Masvingo Central legislator Cde Edmund Mhere, who has since given the party notice to vacate the premises by December this year.
However, Zanu-PF officials at the party’s provincial headquarters resolved to immediately relocate before the December notice expires to Cde Zvobgo Jnr’s complex.
Cde Zvobgo Jnr, who is son to veteran nationalist and national hero Cde Eddison Jonas Mudadirwa Zvobgo, confirmed he offered Zanu-PF a complex at Chevron Hotel.
The businessman, who lost Zanu-PF primary elections to Cde Mhere to represent Masvingo Central seat, said he would accommodate the party until it gets alternative offices.
“I have offered Zanu-PF a complex at Chevron Hotel that will house the provincial headquarters. We once accommodated them several years ago before they found alternative offices in the city.
“The move to accommodate Zanu-PF provincial headquarters was because of the close relationship that exists between the Zvobgo family as a whole and the revolutionary Zanu-PF party and I feel proud to continue to be associated with Zanu-PF that is why I have decided to offer the offices at Chevron Hotel until they secure alternative offices,” he said.
Cde Zvobgo, who is managing director of Zvobgo Holdings, which owns Regency Chevron and Regency Flamboyant Hotels in Masvingo and Fair Mile Hotel in Gweru, said Zanu-PF’s provincial headquarters had already been moved to Chevron Hotel.
“They (Zanu-PF) have already moved their offices to Chevron Hotel, the furniture was moved on Friday. They decided to relocate immediately before the expiry of the notice which they had been given,” he said.
Cde Mhere wrote to the Zanu-PF Masvingo provincial leadership giving them until December this year to secure offices elsewhere after accommodating the party for the past five years for free.
There are calls for Zanu-PF to build its own offices in Masvingo to house the headquarters like the situation obtaining in other provinces.
Masvingo South House of Assembly member Cde Walter Mzembi, recently said the party was supposed to look for land to build headquarters that will house offices for principal officials.
