Pro-Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) business entities have rejected Chamisa’s plea for donations towards his election campaign saying his party led councils were making it difficult for the business to make money, the Harare Post has learnt.
Business entities aligned to Chamisa who spoke to this publication slated the CCC-led Councils for poor service delivery in the urban areas for negatively affecting their business operations.
Obert Chakanyuka, a businessman whose guestlodges in Harare are known for hosting Chamisa’s American connections, stated that his business was now at stand still because there was no running water in the urban areas.
“The incompetence of the City Fathers has made it impossible for us to operate our businesses smoothly, especially the guest house business. How can one operate when there is no water? Water and sanitation are pivotal in the running of guest houses, without which we should close office.
“It is so unfortunate that I am not able to fund Chamisa’s election campaigns because I am running the business at a loss as I constantly have to buy water that is needed by my guests. This situation is not sustainable,” lamented the businessman.
Another businessman who is in the transport industry expressed his inability to fund Chamisa stating that the poor state of the roads had also disturbed the operations of his business.
“The state of roads has affected the transport business as the cars are constantly being attended for suspension repairs. No money is saved, we are running in the negative balance,” bemoaned the transporter.
Political commentator, Silas Machemedze said that the CCC will pay dearly for its failure to deliver services in urban areas contrary to ZANU PF which has gained support across the nation through delivering people oriented schemes.
Most CCC-led councils are suffering from serious poor service delivery, with heaps of uncollected garbage, lack of running water and failure to maintain roads.
ZANU PF continues to enjoy support from Zimbabweans across the country on the back of several capital and life-changing developments that have seen communities benefiting as the Second Republic implements programmes aimed at achieving an empowered upper-middle income society by 2030.
