Zicosu vows to fill COZWVA gap

THE Zanu PF-aligned Zimbabwe Congress of Students’ Union (Zicosu) has vowed to fill the “campaign machinery” gap left by the Children of Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans’ Association (COZWVA) that plans to de-campaign the ruling party ahead of polls.

COZWVA, which also draws its membership from the National Patriotic Front (NPF), early this week revealed plans to de-campaign Zanu PF in the rural areas, in the run-up to the harmonised elections, to allegedly punish the party for its “bad and evil deeds”.

COZWVA has over the years been vital cog of Zanu PF’s election campaigns, but Zicosu on Thursday said it had already filled the void left by the former, promising to deliver the rural vote to the ruling party.
