Disgruntlement is rife, and tempers running high among the people in Nyanyadzi, Gunura, Hotsprings, Marange and Chakohwa areas which border the diamond fields.
Saigon Magurutu, an MDC secretary in Nyanyadzi, where Chinguno hails from, criticized Zanu (PF)’s insensitivity towards the affected MDC members.
“It is utter rubbish and totally unacceptable to imagine how Zanu (PF), vociferous on community empowerment and indigenization at its campaign rallies can stoop so low to the extent of employing workers on partisan lines,” he said.
Chamada Murire from Gunura, who was barred from sending his documents to seek employment in Chiadzwa for being an MDC activist accused the local Zanu (PF) leadership of double standards.
“Munacho Mutezo, former Water Resources Minister and MP for Chimanimani who lost the seat to MDC’s Lynnette Karenyi, promised to turn the fortunes of this area around for everyone’s benefit to secure votes in the next elections. Events on the ground, however, show that he is the one telling Chinguno to fire all MDC sympathizers from their work in Chiadzwa.” – Seven Nematiyere
