RESIDENTS who lost their houses to corrupt MDC-T councillors over outstanding rents and rates will get them back when Zanu-PF wins the July 31 harmonised elections, President Mugabe has said.
Several people - including widows in Chitungwiza, Harare and other urban councils - had their houses repossessed by councils and allegedly allocated MDC-T councillors over outstanding debts in the last four years.
Addressing Zanu-PF supporters at a star rally at Chibuku Stadium in Chitungwiza yesterday, the President said as the election day draws closer, people should vote for leaders who have people at heart.
"You have come in your numbers to celebrate what you had forgotten in 2008. You had been lulled a bit, and the enemy penetrated you. And today, your houses have been taken away from you, repossessed. Hoyo nhasi uno nedzimba maakutorerwa. (Khangela lamhlanje izindlu sezithethwe)
"Taitaura naVaChombo nezuro unouyu, tikati kwete vanhu havatorerwe dzimba. Vangava vane zvikwereti zvakadii, asi dzimba dzavo hadzitorwe." (Ngangixoxa loChombo, sathi abantu abathathelwa izindlu. Bengaba lezikweledi ezinjani kodwa izindlu zabo akumelanga zithathwe)
"Vakatorerwa nevanga vasati vatorerwa, tichazvirambidza izvozvo. Zimbabwe ndeyenyu, hamungaite kunge mhuka munyika menyu." (Abathathelwayo lalabo abekade bengakathethelwa sizakunqabela lokho. iZimbabwe ngeyenu, akumelanga belenze inyamazana elizweni lenu)
He said no matter how huge the debts were, friendly payment plans should be made for vulnerable members of society.
