ZANU-PF Councillor Blocks Clinic From Using Opposition-Donated Blankets

ZANU-PF Councillor Blocks Clinic From Using Opposition-Donated Blankets

A ZANU-PF councillor in Wedza South has reportedly intervened to prevent a local clinic from using donated blankets, simply because they were provided by an opposition politician, reported The Mirror.

The clinic, which has faced issues with keeping newborn babies warm, received the much-needed blanket donations two weeks ago from Valentine Zinhumwe, the opposition CCC Parliamentary candidate for Wedza South Constituency in the 2023 general elections.

In a telephone interview with The Mirror last Friday, Benjamin Chikuruwo, the Ward 24 Councillor, confirmed that he had instructed the staff at Nhangabwe Clinic to return 20 blankets that had been donated to the facility.

When pressed further on the matter, Councillor Chikuruwo refused to comment, stating that he saw no need to discuss the issue since he claimed he was not informed about the donation in the first place. He said:

Why are we punishing vulnerable people for selfish political ends? I received a call from the clinic staff telling me that the blankets were causing them headaches. I told them to return them to the owner to solve the issue.

Zinhumwe also confirmed the matter but said he was not going to withdraw the donation. He said:

I received a call from the clinic staff advising me that they had been ordered to return the blankets last Wednesday.

I will not take the blankets back because I am only making my contribution as a member of this community.

I was touched by the plight of patients and nurses at the clinic which serves over a thousand villagers. It does not help anyone to return these blankets.

He said donated the blankets when he held a peace and drug and substance abuse soccer and netball tournament at Chisangano Secondary School.

Zinhumwe’s donation followed a public appeal by the clinic staff that the clinic had a critical shortage of blankets.

It is alleged that newborn babies have died at the Nhangabwe Clinic due to a critical shortage of blankets and other essential supplies.

The nursing staff are sometimes forced to give up their own personal blankets in a desperate effort to keep vulnerable patients warm.

This dire situation has led to patients, including expectant mothers, being discharged prematurely from the clinic, further jeopardizing their health.

When contacted by The Mirror, the clinic’s acting sister in charge, Annasia Mudima, stated that she was not permitted to comment to the media on the matter.

In response to the reported incident, ZANU PF’s Director for Information and Publicity, Farai Marapira, claimed that the party welcomes development from everyone, regardless of political affiliation. He said:

We have never heard of such activities. The President has called all Zimbabweans regardless of political and social lines to assist in development.

This is our country and we have to develop it. We want an opposition that also contributes to development.

Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) deputy spokesperson in Mashonaland East Province, Assistant Inspector Misheck Denhere said he is not aware of the matter.

In 2019, the then Chiredzi West MP, Farai Musikavanhu, reportedly withdrew hospital beds and other medical supplies donated to Chiredzi Polyclinic by an opposition MDC official.

Musikavanhu reportedly dumped the goods donated by John Mangange outside the council offices.

Mangange was based in the United Kingdom. He had contested for the parliamentary seat but lost to Musikavanhu.

Musikavanhu reportedly teamed up with State Security agents to forcibly remove an ambulance, 30 wheelchairs, three 5,000-litre water tanks, 10 electric-operated beds, BP testing kits from the clinic and other items.

This happens when a country is on autopilot. Someone is too busy looting to manage the affairs of the country. He blocks state funds to these institutions and allows his maniac fanatics to frustrate donors and the Chivhayos are on looting steroids. This would not happen if sanity prevailed at the palace.

Zanu Pf must recall Benjamin Chikuruwo immediately. He is working against what he was voted for. I am a Zanu Pf member, but I am not a cruel, selfish and inhuman murderer.

Pawakanzwa plea yeclinic iwe sacouncillor wakaita sei? Such behaviour must be documented for future prosecution and so that future generations will learn that we had morons like you before independence (we're not yet independent). Farai Marapira shoot straight and address your councillor, Chikuruwo. Don't make general statements on such a clear case.

Procedure is required. We cannot have any Tom , Dick and Harry with nefarious motives donating trinkets in order to elicit regime change and curry favor with rogue elements of the society...Marapira is being diplomatic here we do not accept trinkets from acolytes of the Great Satan...That CCC losing candidate can go hang...Kudos to the councillor for nipping the nefarious activities in the bud...Relax inhabitants of Wedza South better and higher quality blankets are on the way and those of the Great Satan will disposed off in a sanctified manner... Leaving no place behind... Erudite out

So babies must die whilst you wait for the procedure. It is obvious that no amount of procedure would allow these blankets to arrive. The only donations allowed are the ones given by the ruling party. What a joke. Donations can be given any time. That is why they are called DONATIONS. I don't remember a big song and dance about this. Where was the large media coverage and rhetoric that could affect regime change? Or are you saying that money should go through the party first? To see how much is left before it gets to where it is supposed to be. You utterances are nothing by vomit. They stink.

While blocking contributions from other community members , do they then make better dontions? Such deeds should be a wake-up call to the communities to make better choices for representatives on the ballot. Yet they will be bought with some trinkets and let like bovines to slaughter . $1.6bn latest dzvii.

I think there should be government policy to guide us on such issues. All donors, regardless of party affiliation should be vetted first just to check on their intentions. We really need government policy to spell out the guidelines otherwise we may not like our security sector to receive donations from anybody who feels like donating, even from within the party.

If you vet Donations that have no media coverage is pure paranoia. I didn't see anyone vet Chivayo when he was handing out cars. Where was the benefit to Zimbabwe there? But blankets are the greater evil. It's so sad, you can only laugh through the tears.
