“In his opening remarks, His Excellency the President
expressed the importance of the party to be ever vibrant and visible in every
part of the country. Introspection is the key, hard work and honesty must
remain the compass. His Excellency also highlighted the effects of Cyclone Idai
and commended the party for its role in assisting in all disaster-affected
areas.
“He warned on indiscipline and corruption. He further
called for unity of purpose and emphasised that party programmes must have a
national outlook.”

“On behalf of Cde July, who is Secretary for Transport and
Social Welfare and also the Minister of Local Government, Public Works and
National Housing, the Secretary for Business Liaison Cde Sithembiso Nyoni gave
a comprehensive report on the Cyclone Idai disaster which has been covered
extensively by all media houses so far.
“Government and the international community have given
tremendous assistance to all the affected areas and His Excellency on behalf of
the nation has extended his deepest gratitude to all concerned. The aid
continues to pour in.” Zanu-PF Secretary for Administration Cde Obert Mpofu
gave a comprehensive departmental report which was discussed at length, and
recommendations to strengthen party programmes were made and welcomed.
“His Excellency clearly made his observations and advised
on the way forward which were applauded by the Politburo,” said Cde Khaya Moyo.
The Politburo also received a report from the Secretary for
Finance, Cde Patrick Chinamasa, on the ongoing inter-party dialogue.
“The Political Commissar, Cde Engelbert Rugeje, presented
his commissariat report,” said Cde Khaya Moyo.
