I would like to believe I am that person , I have done this for a long time trying to develop communities right across Africa from Gambia , Ethiopia , Kenya and Ghana when I worked for the African Development Bank.

I came here as Minister of Finance still on the same mission that I want to fucus on developing our nation and I would like to focus on communities such as Cowdray Park which is in dire need of development support and they have remained behind from the rest of Bulawayo. I think really we will measure how developed Bulawayo is by the extent to which Cowdray Park is in terms of development. So that gap needs to be closed developing Cowdray Park is tantamount to developing Bulawayo .”

Prof Ncube emphasized on the need for clean water supply, development of roads , employment creation, electrification and crime reduction in his aspiring constituency
