Norton MP Temba Mliswa (Independent), claims the constituency delimitation exercise by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) reduced ZANU PF’s support base in Norton.
ZANU PF Mashonaland West provincial Women’s League chairperson, Constance Shamu was elected the party’s candidate for Norton in upcoming elections during primary elections held last month.
Shamu will likely face Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC)’s Richard Tsvangirai.
Posting on Twitter recently, Presidential spokesperson, George Charamba, asserted that males who are contesting against aspiring female candidates must prepare for exit. Wrote Charamba:
<blockquote>
This year is the year of the girl child. It is our chance to equalise. As such if you are a man and you find yourself standing against a woman, you should begin packing your bag in earnest, @TembaMliswa be warned.
</blockquote>
In response, Mliswa claimed ZANU PF lost the little support it had in Norton due to the delimitation exercise. He said:
<blockquote>
Hijacked platitudes about the girl child, awkwardly pasted on my female senior, won’t redeem your standing as a party in Norton.
ZANU PF cannot win there especially now that the two rural wards in which it had a veneer of control are gone due to delimitation.
</blockquote>
Mliswa owes his incumbency to the MDC Alliance’s benevolence after the opposition party opted not to field a candidate in Norton in 2018.
The outspoken former ZANU PF Mashonaland West Provincial chairman defeated the ruling party’s candidate Christopher Mutsvangwa in 2018.

ZEC Delimitation Reduced ZANU PF's Support In Norton - Mliswa

Australia-based businesswoman, Susan Mutami who is a former fiance to Norton legislator Temba Mliswa took a swipe on the MP on Sunday in her Father’s Day message.
Mutami and Temba have had an acrimonious relationship since ending their three-month-long affair that saw the duo having twins.
Celebrating Father’s Day, Susan Mutami took to Twitter to wish all the dads a ‘Happy Father’s day’ while throwing shade at Temba Mliswa who happens to be the father of her newly born twins. Susan Mutami wrote:

Some suggested that Mutami was the perfect match for the outspoken independent legislator who of late has not been vocal.
Others, however, warned her that she should not involve their kids in her dispute with Mliswa as they have a right to choose what they want.
Mutami recently announced that she will be challenging Temba Mliswa for the Norton parliamentary seat in the 2023 elections.
The Australia-based health care professional declared that she is not happy with how Temba Mliswa is leading the constituency.
