Zanu PF youth member Fidelis Fengu has expressed great love for his party leader President Robert Mugabe but bemoaned failure by his government to treat disabled people well.ยท

"I love and respect Gushungo as a leader but I am unhappy about the way the disabled are treated in this country," he said.

"The ministry of public service, labour and social welfare is too big and too busy to focus on the disabled. While we ratified the UN convention on the rights of persons with disabilities government has not done anything from the legislative end"

He said two senators are not enough to handle the issues.

"I could go on and on but I guess economy first then others later?" he said.

"May we please have a ministry that handles issues of disability and special needs."
