Welshman Ncube raps Gono over Dimaf

MDC president Welshman Ncube has dismissed calls by Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Gideon Gono for Bulawayo business people to occupy his office to force him to release Distressed and Marginalised Areas Fund (Dimaf) funds.
Ncube told more than two thousand party supporters in Ntepe in Gwanda over the weekend.
"As a party and government we do not support jambanja and it is irresponsible for anyone to say if there are differences you solve it by illiterally encouraging violence.
The proper thing is to say what the problems with Dimaf are. We all agree that Bulawayo need urgent attention"
"But for someone to say occupy my office is irresponsible" said Ncube.
Two weeks ago, Gono told Bulawayo business people that Ncube and finance minister Tendai Biti are blocking release the $40million.
Gono said the one logical thing to do is for them to invade the two ministers offices and he would lead them.
"I look to a day where I see headlines saying you have gone on a hunger strike, spent three days in Biti's office so be it, or Ncube's office rather than crying. Now that you know where the money is, go and even occupy CABS' offices," Gono challenged the businessmen.
"Worldwide we have heard of Occupy Wall Street, but you are just sitting here…it is time for people of this region to stand up and go and implement issues" said Gono then.
