Zanu PF Harare, Masvingo and Mashonaland East provinces have reiterated calls for President Mnangagwa to lead the country until 2030, urging the ruling party’s First Secretary to remain in office to finish ongoing projects that are designed to empower, industrialise and modernise Zimbabwe.
Addressing Zanu PF inter-district meetings in Zone 3
Kuwadzana and Zone 4 at the Harare provincial offices yesterday, the party’s
Secretary for Education, Research and Ideology, Cde Charles Tavengwa, said
members should be guided by the constitution and be wary of infiltrators who
are bent on creating divisions.
He outlined the resolutions which were presented and
adopted at the Annual National People’s Conference.
Cde Tavengwa said one of the major resolutions is that the
term of office of President Mnangagwa be extended from 2028 to 2030. All the
provinces, he said, adopted that resolution.
“It is now up to us as party members and the generality of
Zimbabweans to see that the resolution is implemented if we want that term
extended. It is now about how do we achieve that, is it by the amendment of the
national constitution, if that has to be done so be it,” said Cde Tavengwa.
Harare provincial chairman Cde Godwills Masimirembwa
weighed in saying one of the key resolutions which came out of the conference
was for President Mnangagwa to serve beyond 2028.
“The position is that the resolution was adopted at the
conference. As Harare province, we will continue to humbly call on President
Mnangagwa to accept the wishes of the people for him to serve beyond 2028.
“We have heard what has been said by the party’s Secretary
for Legal Affairs, Cde Patrick Chinamasa, but we as President Mnangagwa’s
children are happy with his performance.
“We are excited by his leadership, and we continue to knock
on his door, humbly requesting that he accepts our pleas to enable the process
of amending the constitution to take place.
“The good thing though is that Cde Chinamasa indicated that
it is possible to amend the constitution and therefore it is possible to act
lawfully, and constitutionally to extend the term of office of the President or
to come up with a legal mechanism that will allow the President to serve up to
2030,” he said.
He said Harare Province has not shifted from that
resolution.
Addressing an inter-district meeting in Chikomba yesterday,
Mashonaland East provincial chairman Cde Daniel Garwe said there was one
resolution which cut across all the committee resolutions at the People’s
Conference, and that is President Mnangagwa should remain in office until 2030
and see his Vision 2030 coming to fruition.
“The thematic committee which presented on that was led by
Cde Chinamasa and he presented the resolutions as they are.
“After he presented that, we did not see anyone, or people
or organisations who objected to the resolutions which then means everyone at
the conference was satisfied by all the resolutions including the 2030 one,”
said Cde Garwe.
“Our appeal is that you give the feedback as it is, not a
distorted one. All the resolutions were adopted and this should be conveyed to
people during inter-district meetings.
“The President said when his term is over, he will leave,
he also said that he is a constitutionalist, yes, he is. This is according to
the constitution. But let us not mix the constitution and vision. President
Mnangagwa has a vision and he needs support, loyalty and endurance. The vision
has a destination”.
On Saturday, Zanu PF Masvingo Province insisted that
President Mnangagwa should remain at the helm of the country until the year
2030 to see through his vision of propelling Zimbabwe into an empowered upper
middle-income society. Herald
