Zanu-PF Secretary for Science and Technology, Professor Jonathan Moyo is working with the National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority to get a special hunting concession for 10 elephants as part of the fund-raising efforts for the construction of Tsholotsho Stadium.
Professor Moyo, who is also the Minister of Information, Media and Broadcasting Services said a hunting concession will enhance the appreciation of wildlife resources by communities who have been victims of the human wildlife conflict.
"This is an infrastructure which is important not just for Tsholotsho FC but for everyone including kids in the schools who don't have facilities for field and track events. With this stadium, now they will have a first class facility. We are kick-starting the process of mobilising those resources through a hunting concession, that is how wildlife can contribute to the community," he said.
Professor Moyo said Tsholotsho North has not had the representation it deserves at national level since the July 2013 harmonised elections, adding that time has now come for the people to get proper representation for the purposes of addressing national issues.
"Not this funny behaviour we saw of this expelled incumbent. We don't want a situation where one individual benefits, it is about the development of the community. We are going to do so in the context of
ZIMASSET, which seeks to provide a solution of food security and nutrition especially this time when there is drought whose consequences we are already dealing with," he added.
Professor Moyo was on Sunday unanimously endorsed as the Zanu-PF candidate for Tsholotsho North constituency by-elections to be held in June following the expulsion from parliament of MDC-T legislators.
Tsholotsho North constituency is faced with a number of challenges which include shortage of water, human-wildlife conflict and poor infrastructure development, among other things.
