What Mugabe told the party conference yesterday- full speech

We offer it reverence because of its nearness to the Great Zimbabwe from which both the host province and our country derive our names.

Allow me also to extend a special welcome to our comrades, comrade representatives of liberation movements, and parties who have come to be here in solidarity with us.

The spirit that binds us, the spirit that binds our parties is the same spirit that bound us yesterday as we fought for liberation together, and it is the same spirit that has motivated you to travel all the way to be with us today.

And may that spirit continue to blossom as we move into the future kuti tirambe tiine mweya umwe chete wekubatana wataiva nawo zuro ticharwisa nevavengi – takabatana nyika nenyika; musangano nemusangano – tichinzwanana.

Saka ndizvo zvatinokumbira kuti zvirambe zviripo, kwazvo-kwazvo. Mazuva ano tava hurumende, hatisisiri musangano chete.

We are no longer just the liberation movement, we are indeed governments made out of these liberation movements.

Our conference is taking place at a time when the heavens have happily opened, blessing us with heavy showers that point to a promising agricultural season. The rains have thus blessed us with cool weather, one that is ideal and conducive for us to engage in fruitful deliberations on the theme of our conference, which is “Moving with Zim-Asset in Peace and Unity”.

“Moving with Zim-Asset in Peace and Unity”, the conference’s theme, which is both timely and relevant, makes matters economical the focal point of most of our deliberations, which are going to take place in these three days we are going to be here for the conference as delegates.

As delegates, we are all expected to actively debate and offer solutions for our country’s economic recovery in agriculture, in mining, manufacturing and commerce, in tourism, infrastructure and in several other areas.

At this conference, we anticipate robust, frank, informed and informing ministers’ and committees’ presentations and delegates’ subsequent discussions.

All delegates are expected to actively participate in the conference in one form or another.

Apart from discussing the economy, our conference will look at the state of the country especially in the year that has gone by.

Tinosungirwa kuongorora musangano wedu kuti pagore iro rino rava kupfuura wanga wakamira sei?
