Zanu-PF candidate for Gokwe Central National Assembly seat Cde Victor Matemadanda says he will engage cotton processing companies to come and set up shop in Gokwe. He said this will help develop the area and create employment for people in the constituency.

He said Gokwe was well-known as a cotton farming hub and cotton companies should set up processing plants closer to their raw material.

“Cotton farmers should not travel to Harare to sell their cotton. We should engage cotton companies to come and establish their plants here so that we have infrastructure and employment while farmers reduce their costs in the process. It is high time that the people from Gokwe benefit from their produce,” said Cde Matemadanda. “We want those who do not have the capacity to grow cotton to be employed by the cotton processing companies and make our constituency productive,” he said.

He said he has engaged several other companies to come and establish plants in Gokwe.

“We need more companies to come and invest here so that we create employment. We should not rely on politicians who buy beer for our youths, but we now want employment creation to spearhead development,” he said. Cde Matemadanda pledged to work with the local authorities for the development of the constituency.

“Let people get the necessary services and that is what President Mnangagwa is fighting for. “We need to vote him so that he delivers his mandate to the people of Zimbabwe,” he added. He urged the people in the constituency to vote for Cde Mnangagwa.
