MDC Alliance President, Advocate Nelson Chamisa has decried the continued incessant marginalisation of Matebeleland and Ndebeles promising his government will end this marginalisation.
Chamisa who has been on a nationwide meet the people tour now focusing on Matebeleland region gave his word to end it if the opposition party is voted into power in 2023.
Chamisa is in Matabeleland where he is meeting rural voters as he drums up support ahead of possible by-elections early next year, and the harmonised elections in 2023.
MDC Alliance deputy spokesperson Gift Ostallos Siziba told the media on Monday evening that people of Matabeleland were unhappy with the marginalisation of the region.
“So this year we are focusing on the citizens’ convergence for change and the philosophical underpinning of this annual theme is that we are taking the party back to its roots, which is the people,” he said.
“So we are taking the party back to its founding social forces, these social forces are the students, labour, church, traditional leaders, and community leaders.
“The first issue that emerged in Matabeleland was marginalisation.
“There is overwhelming consensus around the question of underdevelopment of these provinces which community leaders have conviction that it is marginalisation because of the structure and design of our politics in this country.
“Number two was the issue of marginalisation of languages in the province.”
