By Staff Reporter
THE ruling Zanu-PF party has slammed divisive elements while underscoring the need to spearhead development projects across the country.
Presenting his keynote address, President Emmerson Mnangagwa who is also the party’s first secretary warned unscrupulous elements working towards derailing the party’s agenda.
“Tactics and political chicanery meant to mislead, confuse, as well as divide the Party and nation, must be nipped in the bud. We must all speak with one voice and march in one direction. Leaders of the Party are bound by collective responsibility and must unite around Party decisions and resolutions which serve as our ideological and moral compass,” he said.
He said party members cannot just dream and push their personal agendas as though it’s the official position.
“Our communication must be disciplined. MuZANU PF tinomira pachokwadi. Zvemazvake mazvake, pasi nazvo,” he said.
He said as the nation scales up the implementation of the national development agenda, there is need to be cognizant of the challenges that face other communities in the region, mainly due to climate change.
“In this spirit, Zimbabwe under Zim-AID, donated maize seed, wheat, building materials and an assortment of food items to communities in Mozambique affected by Cyclones Chido and Jude.
“I officiated, together with President Chapo, at the handover ceremony in Chimoio. This unity and solidarity within our SADC region, should be safeguarded for posterity,” he said.
Mnangagwa commended the people of Zimbabwe, the revolutionary mass Party, ZANU-PF, and all stakeholders within our borders and beyond, for their cooperation and solidarity during our tenure as Chairman of SADC.
“Let us continue to support the programmes and projects of our august regional body, now under the Chairmanship of our Sister Republic of Madagascar.Zimbabwe is a friend to all and an enemy of none. We, thus, hail the mutually beneficial relations that our country enjoys within the comity of nations,” he said.
Mnangagwa said the outcome of the 9th Tokyo International Conference on Africa’s Development (TICAD) are of critical importance in our ongoing national development trajectory.
He said the summit, held under the theme ‘Co-create Innovative Solutions with Africa, provided practical, partnership and investment opportunities as we search for home-grown solutions towards the modernisation, industrialisation and growth of our economy.
“This includes in key areas such as industrialisation, trade, infrastructure development, digitalisation, skills transfer, well as youth and women empowerment, as public-private partnerships,” he added.
