Burning issues for Mugabe

The issue of Vice-Presidents will not come up at all at the forthcoming Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front annual conference to be held in Masvingo because it is not elective.

Instead, the primary aim will be to strengthen the party ahead of the 2018 elections, party Secretary for Administration, Ignatius Chombo, told the Sunday Mail.

Chombo said burning issues for the party were:

  1. There is need to organise the party from cell, village, branch, district and provincial level;
  2. we should genuinely unite the people under the banner of Zanu-PF;
  3. we should also undertake to fight factionalism, divisions, nepotism, tribalism and regionalism so as to grow the party;
  4. Shun corruption at all levels of the party;
  5. listen to the concerns of the people;
  6. stop jostling for party positions, wait to be elected by the people and respect the choice of the electorate;
  7. be a leadership of good conduct, which stays with the people always;
  8. Teach people party strategy;
  9. we should be orderly and systematic in doing things;
  10. remain people-oriented by knowing how people live, what their problems are and the proffer solutions;
  11. be cautious of social media, don’t use it as a platform to attack others and settle personal scores;
  12. Teach the people about Government economic programmes such as Zim-Asset;
  13. don’t lie and gossip about other people, you will destroy your integrity and in the process weaken the party; and
  14. always respect your seniors and if you differ, do so respectfully.
