Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Zanu PF aspiring legislator for Epworth North Constituency Taurai Kandishaya has defended President Emmerson Mnangagwa\u2019s two million jobs promise saying the ruling party has surpassed the target.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a political debate organised by Media Alliance of Zimbabwe and Tell Zimbabwe, Kandishaya argued that the projects embarked on by Mnangagwa\u2019s administration over the past five years created employment for 2,7 million people.<\/p>\n

The ruling party\u2019s Deputy Youth Commissar was responding to a question from one of the attendees who queried the two million jobs promise made in 2018.<\/p>\n

According to a first quarter Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (ZimStat) report, more than 2,8 million people of working age are unemployed in the country.<\/p>\n

Of the most affected, Matabeleland North has the highest number of unemployed individuals, with the national unemployment (expanded) rate at 46,7%.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government bought 800 buses from Belarus, one bus requires a driver and a conductor that is 1600 jobs created,\u201d said Kandishaya, arguing that Mnangagwa had created the promised jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore so, these buses are manned by inspectors, that is one inspector plus an assistant for every 10 buses. There were also mechanics who were hired to repair these buses so that is even more jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that Zanu PF is currently constructing roads which in turn have provided employment to the nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also constructing Mbire road, we had 210 people employed when we were building the Beitbridge road<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is also a Mhanize steel plant, there are also 225 houses that were built in Beitbridge and if you have the know-how of construction you would know that when building a house there is the actual builder, carpenter, a surveyor and an engineer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also managed to create employment for our teachers who we sent to Rwanda. So if you look at all these projects you will see that there has been employment all over.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at the Robert Mugabe airport expansion, if there used to be 10 employees now that number has gone to more than 100 because of the expansion. If you have time we could sit down and I will show you that we created 2,7 million jobs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
