Service delivery has become a nightmare in Bulawayo
ZIMBABWE African National Congress(ZANC) Deputy Leader Zukee Gumbo says their party is ready to contest in the 2023 general elections and he believes that their Council and House of Assembly candidates stands a fair chance at winning in Bulawayo as none of the two major parties in the country have done any major developments.
Formed in 2019, ZANC will be contesting for the first time in the general elections and this year they are eyeing 5 House of Assembly seats and 3 Council seats in Bulawayo.
The party is led by South African based businessman Timothy Mncube and this year it won't be contesting for Presidential seat.
Speaking from his South African base, Zukee Gumbo said:
"Zimbabweans need change, they need something different, the people that have been put in power over the years have not done any good for the people of Zimbabwe. Zanc has got fresh ideas that are realistic with the challenges fsced by ordinary Zimbabweans," said Gumbo
He alluded that if his party is voted into power, his Government will push for the removal of sanctions, be transparent, revive the industries and develop the infrastructure.
Unemployment is the chief factor stimulating the rise in theft and drug abuse, Gumbo said unemployed youths are at the centre of their plans as the youths are the backbone of the country.
"As the saying goes 'an idle mind is the devil's playground', drugs are crippling our youth, our young people need ways of earning money and as ZANC we can offer skills training for them to kick start their goals. We plan to revive all the youth centres that have been lying idle and use them as skills training centres and also offer sports and arts as a way of getting the youth off the streets and using their talents to make a living"
