Zanu PF chairperson for Mashonaland East province Cde Daniel Garwe has implored members and supporters to stop insulting the party’s leadership on social media platforms.
Addressing
party members during the Mashonaland East Provincial Co-ordinating Committee
(PCC) meeting in Marondera at the weekend, Cde Garwe said it is not a ZANU PF
culture to insult the President and called on those who are doing so to stop it
henceforth.
“Last year we
held our conference in Bulawayo and 132 resolutions were adopted. Today we are
not here to explain all these adopted resolutions, but one. We adopted one
resolution where all provinces agreed to allow President Mnangagwa to remain in
office beyond 2028.
“We then came
back and began telling people about this resolution through inter-district
meetings. We held these inter districts, we are holding them and we will
continue to hold them, telling people about these resolutions, all of them, but
our emphasis is on Resolution Number One.
“Of all the
resolutions, none of them granted anyone permission to insult others. No
resolution was adopted allowing people to be forced to do a slogan. No
resolution was passed, which allows someone to insult anyone because he or she
is doing a certain slogan.
“Now, what is
bothering us is that there are some elements who are insulting President
Mnangagwa on social media. I am sure that all of you here are aware of how
President Mnangagwa is being insulted and disrespected on social media by
people who we think are ZANU PF. This is unacceptable.”
Cde Garwe said
if anyone is aggrieved, there is always a better way of tabling issues adding
that throwing insults is not one of them.
“We have a ZANU
PF way of solving issues. Our party constitution provides for a conducive
platform to air our grievances.
“One should use
party structures. But some people are no longer doing that. Mashonaland East is
now on top of the list for insulting the President, including insults directed
at me the chairman. We should never do that. There are better ways of expressing
issues,” he said.
