THE first time visit to the eastern border city of Mutare by former vice president Joyce Mujuru as leader of an opposition party on Saturday will signal the end of President Robert Mugabe’s relevance in the province of Manicaland, a ZimPF official has said.

Mujuru is expected to hold a five star rally at Sakubva stadium as political parties in the country drum up support ahead of the 2018 polls.

The former vice president was fired from the ruling party for allegedly plotting to topple Mugabe in 2014.

ZimPF Manicaland Secretary for Information and Information Communication Technology (ICT), Moses Mutyasira, confirmed Mujuru’s planned visit to the Manicaland capital.

“ZimPF Manicaland province is making final preparations for the impending visit by our President Dr Joice Mujuru on the 16th of July at Sakubva stadium. The mood is quite electric and all our Manicaland structures are ready,” said Mutyasira.

“As for Mugabe, we hereby issue him a travel ban to Manicaland province since we have totally cut ourselves from his despotic rule and the suffering we have endured as a province under his leadership,” said Mutyasira.

He said they were expecting a bumper crowd to send signals to Zanu PF that their “days are numbered”.

“As a province, we are expecting a bumper crowd to send warning signals to Zanu PF and its ageing leader that time for him to step down and pass on the baton is now.

“All our wards, constituencies and provincial structures are working flat out, mobilizing new members to join ZimPF and this is going to be a defining rally for this province,” said Mutyasira.

He said the party was happy with the support it was receiving from local the business community, vendors, Small to Medium business entrepreneurs and individuals in the province.

“We have put in place security mechanisms to ensure that people are not intimidated or harassed. We want to ensure that people come freely. We urged people to come in full force and show solidarity with Dr Mujuru.”
