This emerged
during the first Provincial Coordinating Committee meeting held at Marymount
Teachers’ College last Sunday, where it was agreed that the conference feedback
engagement programmes in the form of inter-district meetings will be convened
across the province for leaders to pass the correct message on resolutions
adopted at the just-ended National People’s Conference.
Dubbed
Resolution Number One, the ruling ZANU PF party at its 22nd National People’s
Conference made a unanimous agreement to extend President Mnangagwa’s term of
office beyond 2028 to 2030.
This was among
a cocktail of resolutions aimed at promoting economic growth and strengthening
the party, with the conference also calling on the party and Government to set
in motion the legal process to extend President Mnangagwa’s term of office to
2030.
Speaking during
the PCC meeting, ZANU PF Treasurer-General, Cde Patrick Chinamasa said
Government and Parliament is now seized with the legal and logistical
implementation of the resolution.
“We have
resolutions that we made during the recent National People’s Conference here in
Mutare, especially on the extension of the President’s term of office.
“I want to
thank you for the unity of purpose that we showed on this resolution. We do not
want to see any backtracking. Let us remain united on that resolution.
“As we go
forward, it is no longer in our hands. It is in the hands of Parliament and
Government. It is clear that the resolution now needs implementation through
the Ministry of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs,” said Cde Chinamasa.
ZANU PF
Manicaland provincial chairman, Cde Tawanda Mukodza said if the party
unanimously agreed on Resolution Number One, who can oppose it?
“We are
required to go back to the grassroots and inform the people of the important
decisions that were made at the conference.
“The resolution
that we made at district level is the same resolution that was agreed upon at
the conference. There was no popcorn approach to the matter.
“Everyone spoke
with one voice. Therefore, we are no longer expected to be begged to be part of
this resolution. This is now a pact that was made within the party.
“I do not
expect anyone to move away from this resolution. After all, if the whole
country has agreed on this, who are you to introduce something divergent?”
questioned Cde Mukodza.
ZANU PF
Manicaland provincial political commissar and Makoni South legislator, Cde
Albert Nyakuedzwa said programmes for conference feedback are already underway.
“We understand
that Buhera and Makoni have covered parts of their districts, but we have
districts that are yet to start. For Chipinge, Chimanimani, and Nyanga
districts, we are coming there on Saturday the 15th. Zimunya-Marange, Mutare
and Mutasa districts we are coming there on Sunday the 16th.
“What we are
doing is that we have agreed, as espoused by the chairman (Cde Mkodza), that
all leaders from the Central Committee, war veterans, ZILIWACO, ZIPEDRA, and
provincial leaders resident in those districts, will team up and give the
people the conference feedback,” he said.
Buhera District
Development Committee chairperson, Cde Causemore Chimombe said they had their
inter-district meeting recently meant to give feedback to the grassroots on the
conference resolutions.
“In Buhera
District, we had our inter-district meeting, and the party provincial chairman
(Cde Mukodza) was there. He was happy. We had more than 3 000 people in
attendance. We informed our people of the resolutions made at the conference,
especially Resolution Number One,” he said.
During the
recent 22nd ZANU-PF National People’s Conference in Mutare, ZANU-PF national
secretary for Legal Affairs, Cde Ziyambi Ziyambi tabled the resolution, with
delegates unanimously endorsing the implementation of the resolution.
“In recognition
of the extensive developmental milestones under the leadership of the
President, it is resolved that President Mnangagwa’s term of office be extended
to 2030. This conference reaffirms this resolution, and the party and
Government should urgently roll out its implementation.
“The resolution
was tabled during the last conference, and raised again during this conference.
The resolution should be implemented before the next conference,” he said.
