Zanu PF secretary for external relations Simbarashe
Mumbengegwi made the remarks while officiating at the Manicaland provincial
co-ordinating committee meeting in Mutare on Saturday.
His statement came at a time party members were jostling to
be elected to leadership positions in their respective provinces in next
month’s internal elections.
Mumbengegwi, who was the guest of honour at the event, took
the opportunity to warn ruling party officials against assuming leadership
positions to amass wealth.
The ruling party is holding district executive elections
this week in the country’s 10 provinces ahead of the provincial elections
slated for next month.
“You should not be elected to get riches, you should be
elected to serve the people, and you must seek office to produce results for
the best of the land, Our President Emmerson Mnangagwa has always been saying
that we should work for our nation,” he said
“Yes, we liberated our country in 1980, but the war is
still on as we also need to liberate our economy,” he said
He added that Zanu PF was geared to win the 2023 elections
resoundingly, and urged party members to vote in their numbers.
“We have noted with concern that we have party members when
it comes to elections, so far we have 3,6 million registered voters, we are
targeting five million votes, so we are
urging party leaders to go out there and mop up for more people to join our
party, but I am
very sure we are going to win the elections
resoundingly come 2023,” he said.
