Chamisa Armoured Car Fundraising a success
By Letwin Mubonesi
Movement for Democratic Change-Alliance supporters have managed to raise US$120k towards buying an armoured car for their leader, Honorable Nelson Chamisa.
The organiser of the GoFundMe initiative, Tonderayi Basvi says the intiative to buy Chamisa an armoured vehicle was triggered by “countless merciless attacks (on Chamisa) by the ruling party, aided by the government security sector.”
He cited an attack on Chamisa’s convoy on 11 October 2021 by a group of youths hence seen as evidence that Chamisa’s life was in danger.
The convoy was on its way to engaging the rural community in Masvingo to understand their issues in the aftermath of the pandemic’s 3rd wave and the attack left Chamisa’s vehicles damaged and many of his aides seriously injured and hospitalized.
Basvi also said that violence mighty intensify during the forthcoming 2023 elections hence the need to beef up Chamisa’s security before any unfortunate eventuality occurs.
He said, “As concerned global citizens, we have come up with this initiative to raise funds for the purchase of amour plated vehicle as well as security apparel for his safety and security.”
Chamisa expressed his gratitude through a Twitter post saying, “Thank you Zimbabwe. I am so humbled. I am just amazed at the extent you Zimbabweans are willing to go, do and push to get us there to be free, happy, peaceful and prosperous again. This is commitment! You are making history. Thank you! Citizens are in it. #Godisinit”
Meanwhile, supporters are also targeting to contribute $5000 ahead of the Presidential charity dinner tomorrow.
The money will go towards the vulnerable in different communities.
