Newly-appointed Minister of State for Masvingo provincial Affairs Senator Shuvai Mahofa has said she will be equal to the task and thanked President Mugabe for showing confidence in her.
Mahofa said she will pursue empowerment programmes in the province.
Mahofa warned companies that have not yet fulfilled their pledges under the Community Share Ownership Scheme to pay up their dues of nearly $1 million and contribute towards socio-economic development.
She replaced axed Kudakwashe Bhasikiti. Mahofa said firms that made pledges under the Community Share Schemes should stop taking the people of Masvingo for a ride by failing to release funds they promised when President Mugabe officially launched the scheme in the province three years ago.
The companies namely Tongaat Hulett, Save Valley Conservancy, Bikita Minerals, Lennox Mine, Renco Mine and Murowa Diamond Mine made pledges totalling $1,5 million at the launch of the scheme, but only Murowa fulfilled its pledge by pouring $500 000 into the Chivi Community Share Ownership Trust.
