As Zimbabwe struggles with a currency in free fall and sky-high inflation, the country’s finance minister Mthuli Ncube has embarked on a campaign to become Zanu-PF’s MP for Bulawayo’s largest suburb, Cowdray Park.

In 2022, he was elected as a Zanu-PF central committee member. The committee is Zanu-PF’s highest decision-making body outside congress.

“I have lived in Cowdray Park for over seven years. I don’t have running water. Most residents use blair toilets, unemployment and poverty is high. These are ongoing problems which have persisted for many years, we are struggling and frustrated. The finance minister’s campaign promises and the election will bring us nothing, we are being used as pawns,” said a Cowdray Park resident.
