Home Affairs Minister says he did not chicken out of contesting for Umguza. He insisted that he was paving the way for others.

“I am now old, almost 70 years, 67 years this year, sengingumuntu omdala that’s why I am saying let me go to Senate. “I saw some papers saying Mpofu chickens out. Mina chicken out ngisiya ku Senate? You must give others a chance and see how they are going to work.”

He was speaking at Farmers Hall in Umguza district, Matabeleland North province. The Zanu PF deputy commissar Cde Omega Hungwe said her party would have lost the elections if Mugabe was not ousted.

“I came here to beg you, to ask you to vote for Zanu-PF. I know many are still asking what happened in November, but in all fairness we were all telling lies when we were saying Mugabe for 2018. Honestly, 94 years, a grandfather? He doesn’t walk well, he doesn’t talk properly. If you talk to him and come back later he would have forgotten. Cde Mugabe was now old and the problem was that he married a younger wife who was power hungry.”
