Zimbabwe government only serves Zanu PF voters

Zimbabweans who did not vote for Zanu PF have no right to ask the government to deliver on its 2013 election promise to create 2, 2 million jobs, Herald columnist, Nathaniel Manheru has said.

Manheru is believed to be President Robert Mugabe's spokesperson George Charamba said Zanu PF was only obligated to serve the constituency which voted for the ruling party.

"One voice that keeps coming into my eardrums with irritating shrill is the demand by the hashtag generation for two million jobs promised by Zanu PF in 2013 polls.

"Even the MDCs have joined in demanding those jobs as if Zanu PF owes them a living. You want two million jobs from a minus vote input? Who did you vote for? And why should a Zanu PF government govern to your benefit?" Manheru wrote

"Spare me that nonsense about national good. The good of a winning tenure is to multiply it a thousand fold, to augment it by doing good to those voters sitting on the fence."

Charamba said Zanu PF was "single-minded" in serving its voters.

"And Zanu PF attracted more than two million voters whose unmet needs are its pre-occupation. Not MDC-T supporters, in their diminishing numbers," he said.

"They don't matter to Zanu PF calculus. They only matter to [Morgan] Tsvangirai and his MDC-T."
