Chamisa charms the elderly

MDC ALLIANCE presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa says his government will roll out social and economic programmes to cushion vulnerable groups such as youths, pensioners and the elderly against the harsh economic environment.

Addressing a rally at Bambazonke business centre, Marange, in Mutare West constituency on Sunday, Chamisa said the Zanu PF-led government had abrogated most of its duties, including providing for the needy.

“We want all people above 65 years to benefit from the government in what we will call old age support programme just like what is done in Botswana,” he said.
