Disturbing reports that the ZANU PF run Gutu Rural District Council shot down a noble proposal by MDC Alliance President, Nelson Chamisa to build a state of the art boarding school and a hospital in his rural home must be condemned in strongest terms by all rightful thinking citizens.
In this 4th Industrial Revolution era when other countries are bridging the gap between rural and urban areas, it will be folly for us to allow the barren ZANU PF Stone Age mentality to take centre stage at the expense of development of our rural areas.
Honestly how in this modern age can a local government board turns down such a rare opportunity to uplift people’s lives when the same Rural District Council has failed to build even a single pit latrine.
It’s a pity that the very same regime that has reduced rural areas into burials areas are allergic to rural development.
It is time we question and confront this ZANU PF abnormal normal!
Remember this is the very same regime that is encouraging our people on archaic and arduous farming methods like _Pfumvudza_ at a time when smart agriculture is the way to go.
The barbaric approach to developmental issues by the Gutu Rural District Council also better sums up ruralization agenda of our urban areas by Emmerson Mnangagwa’s regime.
Urbanization of our rural areas as summed up in our DURA document is the way to go.
Rural dwellers matter too!
