Zanu PF has postponed this year’s first Central Committee
meeting which was scheduled for this week, as a measure to control the spread
of Covid-19.
Speaking at the Politburo meeting at the party headquarters
in Harare this morning, Zanu PF First Secretary President Mnangagwa said the
Central Committee meeting which has been scheduled for this week has been
postponed until further notice.
“As you aware, our party constitution obligates us to meet
as the Central Committee at least three times a year, in Ordinary Session. The
practice is that our meetings are held at the end of every quarter. Hence, this
Politburo meeting would ordinarily be followed by the Central Committee
meeting. However, due to the prevailing circumstances and the measures we have
put in place to avert the spread of Covid-19, the scheduled meetings of the
Central Committee stands postponed until further notice,” said the President.
He challenged the party leadership to lead by example in
the fight against the spread of the pandemic. The Politburo meeting was held at
the main hall instead of the usual boardroom to practice social distancing.
“As the party leadership we must lead by example by
continuing to practice social distancing, it is in that spirit that we are
holding this meeting in this hall as opposed to our usual venue,” said
President Mnangagwa. Herald
