TRANSPORT and Infrastructural Development Minister Obert Mpofu seem to have set aside his political differences with Information minister Jonathan Moyo as he headlined Moyo's campaign on Saturday.
The two are widely reported to be enemies.
On Saturday, Mpofu was at Mgodimasili, Tsholotsho and appealed to the electorate to vote for Moyo saying he was the right man for the job.
"I am here to urge you to vote for Professor Jonathan Moyo who the party gave you as a representative in the upcoming elections. He is not representing himself but representing the only ruling party in this country.
"What you people want are roads, water and development. However, I must assure you that this time around the person who the party has given you is the true leader, he is the only person who will bring development here," said Mpofu.
"We must stop voting for people who do not bring development, people bent on destroying the nation, people who simply want to reverse the gains of our hard fought independence.
Mpofu said when President Mugabe noted the mistake that had been made by the people of Tsholotsho North by not voting for Prof Moyo in the 2013 election he personally chose him for a ministerial position.
"Just look at the people who have come here to beg you to vote for Prof Moyo, just last week there was Simon Khaya Moyo, Saviour Kasukuwere was also here, I am here and next week Vice-President Phelekezela Mphoko will be here, this is how seriously we are taking this and we respect you.
"Further, I must witness to you all that Prof Moyo is indeed the man for you, I work with him from Politburo level right up to Cabinet level. He is so passionate about Tsholotsho and with him here it ensures that there is a direct link with the President up there and for this reason the development which you have all been clamouring for is assured," he said.
