War veterans have been offered medical aid and improved economic opportunities as President Mnangagwa woos them ahead of Zanu PF’s elective congress expected later this year.
“I, therefore, expect to receive comprehensive proposals of
programmes to be rolled out by the (War Veterans) League. In this regard, my
administration is ready to facilitate the broad-based empowerment of your
membership so that you fully participate in the economy, as well as the ongoing
industrialisation, modernisation and national development agenda.
“I direct the Ministry of Veterans of the Liberation
Struggle Affairs, which I deliberately established, and the War Veterans Board,
to quicken the implementation of interventions towards addressing the
challenges affecting this special constituency.
“As the lead ministry and institutions administering key
legislative functions about war veterans of the liberation struggle, you must
be innovative, work harder and make strategic decisions to cater for the
welfare and concerns of our veterans.
“I challenge war veterans to remain aware that our
yester-year revolutionary unity is the glue that must continue to bind us
together. Cadre-ship growth and raising the political consciousness in the rank
and file of the party is of paramount importance.
“You must, therefore, develop and implement a robust
programme towards the speedy restructuring and re-organisation of the War
Veterans League from the cell/village, branch, districts and province, right up
to the national level.
“Our deeply entrenched internal constitutional democratic
processes must be followed to the letter. Zanu PF is the only revolutionary
party with a DNA that strictly adheres to its founding policies, procedures,
regulations and the sanctity of the constitution. We as the war veterans must
always toe the correct line of the party.”
