NGO Urged to Stay Out of Politics

The Mashonaland West Governor and Resident Minister, Faber Chidarikire, has urged the Zimbabwean NGOs to stop meddling in the country’s political affairs, but assist the government in its developmental projects.

Chidarikire, who argues that NGOs should concentrate on developing communities, says that, "Government appreciates efforts by NGOs but it's unacceptable for them to interfere in our internal affairs."

"If anyone wants to help people, they should do so without aligning themselves to political parties," states Chidarikire.

His comments follow reports that some NGOs have been interfering in Zimbabwe's constitution-making process.
