CCC MP praises Mnangagwa at Zanu-PF rally

Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) MP Susan Matsunga has publicly praised President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his adviser Paul Tungwarara following the drilling and handover of boreholes in Harare's Budiriro North constituency.

The boreholes were officially handed over on Tuesday under the Presidential Borehole Drilling Scheme, a programme targeting improved water access in urban communities.

The event took place in an opposition stronghold and was attended by senior Zanu-PF officials, including Central Committee members and prominent business figures.

In her remarks, Matsunga expressed gratitude to the President and his team for bringing development to the area.

"I want to thank His Excellency, the President of Zimbabwe… Baba Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa… and Baba Tungwarara for the development brought into Budiriro North," she said.

She added that residents welcomed the intervention, describing it as a rare and appreciated development initiative in the constituency.

The Presidential Borehole Drilling Scheme has increasingly been rolled out in urban opposition-held areas as part of wider efforts to address water shortages affecting high-density suburbs.

However, the programme has also drawn political attention, with critics arguing it is being used to highlight service delivery gaps in opposition-led councils, while supporters say it addresses urgent community needs regardless of political affiliation.

The Budiriro North event was attended by Zanu-PF Central Committee members, including businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei and Godwills Masimirembwa, underscoring the political visibility of the initiative.
