AFFIRMATIVE Action Group (AAG) president and Zanu-PF apologist Chamu Chiwanza last Friday boasted at the launch of a book by Patson Dzamara, Forced to Fight, that only ruling party activists get rich in this country.
Sources who attended the launch said there was drama immediately after Chiwanza made the remarks as Mliswa, once a strong advocate of the indigenisation policy, told the gathering that Zanu-PF was a completely corrupt party and its members thrived on looting and other unlawful means to get rich.
Chiwanza yesterday defended his remarks, saying Zanu-PF supporters were guided by various policies that lead to richness.
"You won't make money if you are not in Zanu-PF," he told NewsDay.
"I believe the policies of Zanu-PF preach economic empowerment and emancipation of our people from the doldrums of poverty. Since 1980, President (Robert) Mugabe has been preaching about empowerment. I told the majority of people I was with at school like (MDC-T MP Nelson) Chamisa that if you don't join Zanu-PF, you won't make money," said Chiwanza, adding the majority of poor politicians were in the opposition.
