President Mnangagwa will soon embark on a countrywide tour to thank the people for voting him and Zanu PF in the July 30 harmonised elections and will take the opportunity to outline Government’s programme on devolution of power.President Mnangagwa said this when he handed over 90 cars to chiefs to fulfill Government’s commitment to improve the welfare of the traditional leaders.
“We are going to have rallies in your respective areas to thank the people for voting me into power,” he said.
“We will be saying the message of peace that we have been saying all along and we will also announce plans we have to improve provincial economies because we do not want everything to be centred on Harare.
“We will also take the time to explain devolution to the people.”
President Mnangagwa pledged to work to improve the livelihoods of every Zimbabwean irrespective of political affiliation.

So much for putting the revival of the economy as his first priority and sidelining politics! How useless is the cult of such rallies! Please, Mr President, get cracking on the economy — appoint capable ministers and recruit some competent advisers — not boot-licking ZANU hacks!! You are a prisoner of a failed past — and continuing to disappoint in these early days of your rule! You are a cause for ongoing concern — not confidence!!
