Ousted MDC-T Spokesperson Linda Masarira has announced that she is not accepting any offer from political parties who are trying to poach her after she was fired for wearing ZANU PF regalia.

"I want to respectfully decline all offers from political parties in Zimbabwe to join their parties. Let me reiterate in public that I am not joining any political party." Masarira said."Thank you very much for all the offers. Good day!"

Masarira recently ventured in her new project called PensionersZW which is aimed at assisting pensioners to access their benefits without being short changed.

Here below is her message inviting pensioners to join her:

How are you Pensioners? For how long are you going to be silent yet you worked for so many years contributing a percentage of your salaries/wages to ensure social security after going on pension.

You have been ignored and sidelined from economic activities. You are failing to make ends meet and most of you are now living in near destitution. You are not forgotten, the Pensioners Voice ZW is a pressure group to push for pensioners rights and ensure that social protection and social security of pensioners is prioritized.

Pension funds and NSSA invested your contributions over the years and its grossly inhumane for NSSA to pay $RTGS30 -$RTGS80 to pensioners per month. PTC pensioners haven't received their pensions to date over two decades later, NRZ pensioners are struggling everyday, some pensioners who were working in the private sector they names do not appear at NSSA because their names do not appear at NSSA. Enough is enough. There is nothing for pensioners without pensioners.

It's time to restore the dignity of senior citizens in Zimbabwe.
