SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT….
I have taken note with KEEN INTEREST and some element of SURPRISE, various statements and reactions circulating across social media and other platforms, including the press statement issued by the ZANU-PF Youth League, attributed my brother CDE JOHN PARADZA. I have also noted the sentiments expressed by HON. KUNDISHORA and other respected Party Cdes whom I hold in very high regard. Given the PUBLIC INTEREST around my pledge of USD3.6 MILLION to support CONSTITUENCY DEVELOPMENT through Parliament, I have seen it fit to CLARIFY the matter with a view to SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT.
Firstly, I am NOT a POLITICIAN and I do not aspire to become one. NEVER !! I am a YOUNG, successful businessman who celebrates the VAST business opportunities that have been created by the SECOND REPUBLIC under the visionary leadership of H.E. Cde. E. D. Mnangagwa. The IMPRESSIVE success of the RULING PARTY is a fulfilment of what the GALLANT sons and daughters of Zimbabwe fought for to attain political and ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE. My pledge to Parliament was therefore made in GOOD FAITH and with the GENUINE intention of celebrating Zimbabwe’s 46th INDEPENDENCE in a UNIQUE manner befitting any PATRIOTIC citizen. There was NEVER any intention whatsoever for that gesture to be misconstrued or sensationalised as an attempt to create PARALLEL STRUCTURES or to influence the AUGUST HOUSE for any actual or perceived outcome.
Secondly, and for the AVOIDANCE OF any DOUBT, I am a PHILANTHROPIST who has over the past 3 YEARS alone spent in excess of USD200 MILLION across Zimbabwe and the African continent on CHARITY and other humanitarian work. I am also a VERY PROUD and UNAPOLOGETIC supporter of the REVOLUTIONARY COLOSSAL PARTY, ZANU-PF, and of our FIRST SECRETARY and PRESIDENT. I recognise that I carry a MORAL DUTY, as part of the PRIVATE SECTOR, to contribute meaningfully towards NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT and to AUGMENT Government’s socio-economic transformation agenda as embodied under VISION 2030. My pledge to Parliament, just as to any other organisation or individuals, was therefore purely DEVELOPMENTAL in nature and NEVER political.
HOWEVER, upon FULL REFLECTION and having carefully considered the concerns raised by my fellow comrades, particularly Hon. Kundishora and Cde Paradza, and giving due regard to and RESPECT for their APPOINTING AUTHORITY, I acknowledge that my approach, though WELL-INTENDED, may not have fully appreciated certain institutional SENSITIVITIES. As a POLITICAL NOVICE, I acknowledge that there are STRUCTURES and PROTOCOLS which perhaps I ought to have observed and consulted. In HINDSIGHT, I recognise that the CHANNEL through which the pledge was communicated was probably not the BEST and I could have given better consideration to the TIMING of my pledge. For that REASON, and for the UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES that may have resulted from my WELL-INTENDED pledge, I express my DEEPEST REGRET.
At the same time, I remain of the considered view that as COMRADES within the same revolutionary RULING PARTY, such matters are best addressed through INTERNAL DIALOGUE. Nothing would have prevented a direct conversation to GUIDE and CORRECT me where necessary, particularly given my NON-INVOLVEMENT in day-to-day PARTY STRUCTURES. Nonetheless, I have LISTENED…… I have REFLECTED…and I have taken GUIDANCE in the spirit of UNITY and DISCIPLINE as our PARTY IDEOLOGY dictates to us. I therefore UNRESERVEDLY RETRACT my initial pledge directed towards Parliament.
In the same breath however, and still guided by my COMMITMENT and to the transformative SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTAL agenda of the SECOND REPUBLIC, I am pleased to announce that I have REFINED my position and now extend a REVISED PLEDGE of USD5 MILLION, subject to further consultation with the APPROPRIATE PARTY STRUCTURES. This support can be channelled through PROVINCIAL CHAIRPERSONS as USD500,000 across each of the Country’s 10 Provinces in order to drive GRASSROOTS DEVELOPMENT initiatives that directly benefit our communities. As a young businessman, I will continue to support the RULING PARTY and GOVERNMENT initiatives under the visionary leadership of President E. D. Mnangagwa. Zimbabwe is OURS to BUILD, and I will continue to play my part UNAPOLOGETICALLY !!!
Finally, I wish to extend my SINCERE and UNRESERVED REGRET to the AUGUST HOUSE, the SPEAKER OF PARLIAMENT, Honourable Members, the CLERK OF PARLIAMENT, the ZANU-PF YOUTH LEAGUE for any discomfort or misunderstanding that may have arisen from my pledge. My RESPECT for PARTY leadership and all the STRUCTURES remains unquestionable. Ndiri mwana weMUSANGANO, ndicharamba ndichi supporter MUSANGANO under the leadership of our PRESIDENT. Let us move forward in UNITY, as we collectively BUILD a PROSPEROUS ZIMBABWE and realise the aspirations of VISION 2030.
