The Zanu-PF Mashonaland West province has resolved that
chronic conditions such as cancer and diabetes should be treated free of
charge.
The party’s Mashonaland West Provincial Inter-District
Conference held in Chinhoyi on Sunday also endorsed President Mnangagwa as the
party’s candidate for the 2023 harmonised elections.
Presenting the resolutions, acting provincial secretary for
administration Cde Mary Chikoka-Mliswa said terminal conditions such as cancer
should be prioritised as they were now the leading cause of death in Zimbabwe.
“This resolution came through from the women and they are
saying chronic diseases such as cancer, hypertension and diabetes are terminal
conditions and therefore treatment should be free,” she said.
The province also resolved that Government should enforce
laws that protect women’s rights to land after the death of a spouse.
Thee youth and women’s leagues also recommended the
inclusion of their representatives in land committees.
“We resolved that Cde Emmerson Mnangagwa is the President
of the Republic of Zimbabwe, Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces,
President and First Secretary of Zanu-PF.”
The resolutions will make part of the province’s leadership
presentations during next week’s Annual People’s Conference in Esigodini,
Matabeleland South.
Provincial chairman Cde Ziyambi Ziyambi said the
resolutions were the basis for policy formulation in Government.
“As the ruling party we should take this platform seriously
as this informs the policies that are later implemented in Government,” he
said.
“As we prepare for the Annual People’s Conference in
Esigodini we should ensure that as a province we are organised and
disciplined.”
Zanu-PF will hold its People’s Conference from December 10
to 15 where key issues affecting Zimbabweans are discussed.
Youths and women also called for increased participation in
mining through special grants.
Cde Ziyambi thanked the people of Mashonaland West province
for coming in their numbers to the maiden “Thank You Rally” at Murombedzi
Growth Point in Zvimba a fortnight ago.
He called on the party to work hard to retain
constituencies such as Kadoma Central, Kariba, Chinhoyi and Norton that were
lost to the opposition MDC-Alliance and an independent candidate.
Delegates also implored Government to come up with measures
to address commodity shortages and unjustified price hikes. Herald
