Mthuli Ncube Promises Cowdray Park Residents WiFi, Nutritional Gardens

Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube has promised more boreholes, nutritional gardens, and WiFi at every home in Bulawayo’s Cowdray Park constituency.

Ncube is set to represent ZANU PF in Cowdray Park in the forthcoming elections after he sailed through uncontested during the party’s primary elections.

According to The Standard, Ncube is spending a lot of time away from the capital to hold cluster rallies in Cowdray Park.

Speaking at one of the rallies last week, Ncube promised to drill boreholes for the constituency. He said:

Cowdray Park will have clean water everywhere.

As your aspiring MP, I have hit the ground running with delivering that which the people have requested as the government works on a permanent solution to the water situation in Bulawayo.

As such we have a targeted 20 boreholes, which will be equipped with nutritional gardens.

Widows and vulnerable groups approached us with this brilliant idea and we are already delivering on that promise.

Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) member Thokozani Khupe is reportedly eyeing the Cowdray Park constituency.

On Friday, CCC Bulawayo spokesperson Swithern Chiroodza told The Standard that it was too soon to say Khupe will represent the party in the constituency. He said:

We cannot, for now, tell whether she has availed herself for the selection or not.

Papers were collected yesterday (Thursday) and now we have to wait for the compilation, validation and vetting process to take place before any announcement can take place.

Meanwhile, it will be the first time for Mthuli Ncube to contest after he joined President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government in 2018 as a technocrat.

Ncube is a former banker and holds a Ph.D. in Mathematical Finance from Cambridge University.
