The Movement for Democratic Change led by Prof Welshman Ncube is expected to launch its Green manifesto today in Binga ahead of the 31 July election.
The party is expecting tens of thousands to attend the big event. The launch will be conducted under the theme, 'Devolution is our new revolution'.
The Green Manifesto and policy document, 'Actions for Devolution' launch is also meant to drum up support for Prof Ncube and all the MDC 2013 election candidates ahead of the 31 July elections.
The MDC chose Binga, one of its major strongholds as the special venue for the launch in line with its devolution theme which is aimed at empowering local communities, in particular rural communities which have borne the major brunt of underdevelopment and marginalisation. It is meant to buttress the need to empower the people of Zimbabwe equally.
Since independence in 1980, MDC claims it was the only party that has respected BaTonga and shown them that they are also a part of Zimbabwe and deserving of recognition and respect like everyone else.
"The BaTonga are one of the few remaining people in Zimbabwe who have preserved their culture despite being ignored for more than three decades. MDC has made inroads in most parts of the country that were considered to be Zanu-PF and MDC-T strongholds. MDC membership base has grown and victory is certain as the party gears for the 31 July election," says the party in a statement.
