ZANU-PF National Chairperson Cde Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri
has said the people behind the bombing at White City Stadium in Bulawayo last
year have not been accounted for so party members should remain vigilant.
The cowardly attack on June 23, last year that was aimed at
President Mnangagwa killed two and injured at least 49 people, among them Cde
Muchinguri-Kashiri, Vice President Kembo Mohadi, Vice-President Constantino
Chiwenga’s wife, Mrs Marry Chiwenga and ex-National Commissar Lieutenant
General Engelbert Rugeje (Retired).
Speaking at the Zimbabwe National Liberation War
Collaborators Association (Zilwaco) conference in Gweru on Saturday, Cde
Muchinguri-Kashiri said there are signs of the existence of the party’s enemies
within its structures.
“About the Bulawayo bombing, the enemy hasn’t been caught.
So let’s not sleep. We can’t afford to sleep. We are the custodians of the
party and Government.
“We look at what is happening from the areas you are
operating from. Some are there sabotaging our programmes.
“President Mnangagwa has a clear vision. He is pushing the
reengagement policy and some people are busy calling for sanctions.
“The Zimbabwe is open for business mantra, Vision 2030 all
are clear signs that the country is poised for socio- economic growth,” said
Cde Muchinguri-Kashiri.
She said Zanu-PF should start preparing for the 2023
harmonised elections from the grassroots so as to give the opposition the
thumping it deserves.
Cde Muchinguri-Kashiri said as part of economic advancement
programmes aimed at alleviating the plight of people who sacrificed to liberate
the country, Government will soon ensure that freedom fighters start
benefitting from a number of programmes.
“Let’s look at creating jobs and starting investments at
ward level. We might have big projects but let’s look down on the wards and
talk of production for example bread should be baked at local level. Let’s work
for our economy. In rural areas, bake your own bread. The oven is made of
homemade bricks, mortar. Mealie-meal from the maize we produce, make Vaseline,
candles at local level so that we determine our own destiny. We don’t just
support President Mnangagwa through dance and song, no, we must get into
production. Why buy bread at $7 when we can make our own, cheap one? Money is
there and we have support from President Mnangagwa. As individuals we must work
for our economy,” she said.
“As freedom fighters, continue having meetings all over
even if you don’t have money. You sacrifice and it means a lot. You are
participating and working for the party. We must defend our power. Voting is
aimed at fulfilling democracy but the power we have is coming from you. So
don’t give it to the detractors.” Chronicle
