Externally, nyika dzokunze, countries that have been hostile to us and all this time expected that thebZanu-PF Government shall listen to them and that there shall be regime change, have failed to achieve that.
There has not been regime change and there shall not be a regime change. They stand defeated on that one. We have had, I think, quite some success in that area.
We still have to fight anywhere to defend ourselves, protect our policies and our programmes so that we are not inhibited in what we try to do in Zim-Asset.
But, we have been able in the bad year 2016 during which we were visited by a drought, which caused our harvest to be poor and therefore creating the situation of hunger amongst our people. We have been able to feed our people, and we continue the thrust of ensuring that no one dies from hunger.
Tinotenda vanga vachitiitira basa irori rokutsvaga chikafu vanana (Dr Joseph) Made, nekuzoti chipinde munyika zvakanaka paine ruzivo rwokuti chiri kuenda kupi nekupi, chakawanda sei, kunzvimbo dzipi?
Vana Amai (Prisca) Mupfumira tinovatenda zvikuru-kuru. Ngavarambe vakadaro.
Well, as we look at the weather now, the situation is more promising, more auspicious and we know if our people are well fed, they have at least some measure of their own earnings from their harvests and those who are in the other sections of the economy, which also is improving – by the way very much improving -are also getting some money.
We know that there is some measure of satisfaction and happiness amongst our people.
That is the starting point, to satisfy the needs of our people.
To do this, we have got to have indicating peace and unity, and this unity must begin with us. I agree that we should have enough peace in Zanu-PF, and we have shown enough unity in Zanu-PF.
I say on this one that there has been creeping into our party a new culture of indiscipline, a new culture of indiscipline yevamwe vadiki vanongofunga kuti muparty vanokwanisa kuita zvavanoda, a culture of disrespect.
Havana rukudzo and there is even contempt and arrogance, kuzvikudza, kuvhaira! Hamheno chinoita vadaro chii.
When a member of a party, and we think when you join the party, you are mature enough. Whether you joined at 18, 19, 20, 21 – you are mature enough to know that there are rules to be obeyed.
There are ways to be followed that you cannot dictate how things should be done. There are organs which follow rules and procedures of how things should be done and no one person should stand up there and say ah, I want this to be done this way.
