MPs, Councillors Letting Us Down - War Veterans

War veterans in Matabeleland North Province claim they have been let down by politicians.

Speaking to NewsDay during a visit to Kusile district this week, Lupane war veterans district chairperson Jonathan Nkanyezi said politicians abandoned them once they are elected into Parliament and council. He said:

We always face so many challenges in this area. My worry is about all the leaders who are supposed to represent us in Parliament.

We chose those people so that they can help us air our grievances to the President on our behalf, but they seem like they do not care at all.

Right now as it is, the country is experiencing drought, and our livestock does not have water, but no one has come to us to at least listen to what we have to say.

The cattle are affected and we want those who represent us in Parliament to do their job.

Bring people to our villages to see what is on the ground. The problems and challenges that we have are enormous.

I want them to know that we chose them to stand for us and they should do so.

We do not want any surprises at all because we trusted them to put word for us to the president since we cannot on our own.

The war veterans were among the people who were allocated some communal wildlife conservancies in the timber and wildlife-rich Emmergroon Estate by the government in 2001.

The area is located along the Bulawayo-Victoria Falls Highway in the Gwayi area and is now bearing the brunt of neglect and marginalisation.

However, Chief Menyezwa, who presides over the area, told NewsDay he could not respond to issues raised because traditional leaders were not informed or consulted when the people were settled in the area.

According to a report by the Centre for Conflict Management and Transformation, resettlement areas in Zimbabwe face several challenges in the provision of basic social services such as schools and adequate health facilities.

The process of resettlement was rapid and with little planning, leading to inadequate financial resources, political interference, and increasing numbers of vulnerable children and orphans.

The war vet's are a disgrace, shame, they allowed zanupf to become corrupt and incompetent. Zanupf today is a shameful party disliked by the people.

@Tina you are correct Tina but can you imagine 44years after Independence could you expect a fair vetting process to come up with a true war vet or not, its really impossible.kuno I have seen some guys Born in 1980 calling themselves war vets and are highly respected.

Some war vets received 50000 in 1997, but some did not, so the government should give money to only those who do not

Akusizi ukukhala, ubuhle liyazenzela . Kuma resettlements there's no proper infrastructure, abantu babelamanzi ahlanzekileyo, imitholampilo, izikolo, izitolo lemigwaqo ehambekayo ngezimota. Konke lokhu kuyaswelakala.

war vets were given their share in 1997 and they squandered the money. 50.000 was a huge amount of money to construct dams, drill boreholes and start income generating projects but alas they thought kuti haiperi.ma youth ndo atinganzwa kwete imwi nyararai zvenyu.

In progressive countries they could have had their own hospitals, recreational facilities , and better living standards but they were used and dumped. They shall wish they had not participated in the struggle. Most of them have nothing to show for their problems.

War veterans are singing the same hyme with the rest of the citizens that MPs and Councillors are neglecting their dutis once they are in Parliament and Councils. They no longer visit their Constituencies and wards to hear citizens' complaints. This is the problem of "one state" srule. Those in power do as they please !!!!! EHE ICHO !!!!!!

No one is letting them down , they let themselves down by aligning themselves to Zanu ( pf) .They should have declared themselves non partisan from begining and stood firm. They thought they were pleasing Robert who just wanted to use them and discard them .
