Mashonaland East was chosen as the host province before its
leadership opted for Seke District due to its proximity to the capital.
However, Mandedza High was condemned by security agents who
are reportedly wary of the electricity lines that cross over the institution.
This has resulted in the provincial leadership moving to
Murape Secondary School, about 15km from the initial venue.
Seke legislator Munyaradzi Kashambe yesterday confirmed the
development and said they have identified a new venue.
“It is true the conference will no longer be held at
Mandedza High School as announced earlier. This is due to security reasons and
we have chosen Murape as the venue subject to confirmation from our superiors,”
he said.
Security details reportedly condemned the initial venue on
the grounds that the power lines pose danger given that the conference will
coincide with the rainy season.
Zanu PF provincial leaders opted for Seke constituency to
host the mega event as it is near Harare where accommodation is readily
available.
Meanwhile, addressing party members at a “thank you” rally
held in Beatrice on Sunday, Kashambe said Seke Constituency will capitalise on
the annual conference to attract development in the area.
“We are honoured to be the host constituency. During the
last conference, Zanu PF chairperson Comrade Oppah Muchinguri said in future,
they will ensure that the host area will be developed. This is our time as a
constituency to be developed. We are looking forward to improvement of
infrastructure and drilling of boreholes among other things,” Kashambe said.
Zanu PF in Mashonaland East has already started preparing
for the annual event. Newsday
