THE ruling ZANU PF affiliate group, Musicians 4ED, has expressed support for the ongoing parliamentary debate on the Constitutional Amendment Number 3 Bill, saying the proposed changes are aimed at strengthening governance systems and ensuring policy continuity.
The endorsement was made during a music showcase held at Habane Stadium in Esigodini this Saturday, where musicians from across Matabeleland South Province gathered to perform and reaffirm their support for ZANU PF resolutions.
The event featured artists from various musical genres who used the platform to express their views on national development issues while entertaining supporters.
“As musicians, we believe that working with the government may help us reach our full potential,” musician Godolude said.
Another performer, Mavhusani, commended efforts to promote cultural visibility and participation through national events.
“We want to thank the President because hosting this year’s Independence celebrations in Matabeleland allowed us to showcase who we are, and we rally behind all his programmes,” he said.
Musician Liberty Ndaba said the group was prepared to use music as a vehicle for mobilisation and awareness.
“As we launch this showcase, we want to be used as the voice of ZANU PF in support of Bill Number 3,” he said.
Addressing attendees, the Minister of State for Matabeleland South Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Honourable Albert Nguluvhe, urged young people to pursue their careers responsibly and avoid drug and substance abuse.
“As the government, we are there to support you. It is through these platforms that we can help you, but we need to fight the drug scourge together. I am happy that you have proven that you are capable artists. Let us rally behind our visionary leader,” he said.
The event combined entertainment and civic engagement as discussions around the Constitutional Amendment Number 3 Bill continue in Parliament.
The Bill remains under consideration by legislators, with debate expected to continue as Parliament examines its provisions and implications.
