Mliswa ropes war vets into campaign

Former Zanu-PF Mashonaland West provincial chairman and aspiring Norton constituency candidate Temba Mliswa has called on leading figures in the former freedom fighters community to wrest the seat from the ruling party.

Mliswa said he had solicited support from ZNLWVA secretary general Victor Matemadanda and former chairman Jabulani Sibanda as he prepares to launch a door to door campaign at the weekend.

Matemadanda was not reachable yesterday while Sibanda was not willing to comment but Mliswa insisted they had given a commitment to attend.

Other sources said Matemadanda indicated the association's national membership had a duty to lend Mliswa support.
