Women political aspirants should change strategy

WOMEN who want to run for political office in 2023 should change strategy if they are to win more votes than men, a government official said yesterday.

Midlands provincial development officer in the Women’s Affairs ministry, Sithembile Dube, said female political candidates needed to economically empower themselves if they were to face men in the elections.

“The time for continuous discussions that women are sidelined by men because they lack resources is over,” Dube told a Women Coalition of Zimbabwe (WCoZ) Midlands chapter meeting in Gweru.
