An MP has told vendors at a meeting to bath before going
out to work. Vendors were angered by the advice and the meeting descended into
a farce before ending prematurely.
Masvingo Mirro reports that the MP for Chiredzi West, Farai
Musikavanhu told vendors in his constituency not to expect freebies from
Government. Vendors had expected Musikavanhu to address the issue of roofing
their market stalls which he promised at the time of the elections.
Solomon Ndarowa, the chairperson of vendors who ply their
trade at a newly established vending site opposite N Richards along Msasa Drive
in Chiredzi said the vendors at the meeting were irked by Musikavanhu’s
utterances on bathing.
“During his
campaign, he developed this vending site and promised to put up a shed for us.
He however, turned round and said vendors should not expect special treatment
from Government, legislators or other people when they come to work shabbily dressed
and without bathing. His statement irked vendors who expected him to fulfill
his election promises like putting sheds at the flea market and building
toilets” said Ndarowa.
