Struggling with Poverty and Disability
At 66 years old, Ncube’s situation has taken a drastic turn since his retrenchment from ZBC in 2015. Despite his previous fame and work as a beloved radio personality, he has found himself battling poverty in the small town of Chivhu, located in Chikomba West, Mashonaland East province.
Ncube has a plot of land that was allocated to him through the land reform program, but he has been unable to develop it due to a lack of resources.
In his heartfelt message to Wicknell Chivayo, Ncube disclosed the severe limitations he faces.
“Warm Greetings to you Cde Sir Wicknell Chivhayo.
As per my video clip, my name is Simon PaShoma Ncube formerly Radio 2 /Radio Zimbabwe personality, who was popularly known as Cde Kunakirwa.
I was Retrenched in 2015 and have not yet received my pension from ZBC News Online. Currently, I am wallowing in abject poverty in Chikomba West/Chivhu at a plot that I got through the land reform program.”
He added that while he is eager to contribute to the success of the Agrarian Reform program, he has been unable to do so because of his disability and that he does not have the necessary financial support.
“My disability worsens my plight, given my lack of resources. I want to play my part in ensuring the success of the Agrarian Reform but without resources, it remains a pipe dream.”
The Plea for Assistance
Simon Ncube acknowledged Wicknell Chivayo’s reputation for supporting individuals and communities in need.
He praised Chivayo’s alignment with President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s vision of “kusimudzira veruzhinji” (uplifting the public).
Simon humbly appealed to Wicknell Chivayo for any help that he could provide him with.
“The short video clip shows my current situation. I have heard a lot about your good work towards individuals and communities.
I appreciate and salute your contribution to the upliftment of ordinary Zimbabweans. Your gesture is in line with our beloved President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa’s vision, kusimudzira veruzhinji.
It is in line with this that I humbly come to you, dear Cde, asking for any assistance that you can offer me.
Long Live Cde and may the Almighty continue to Bless you.”
