adminZanu-PF on development campaign
Bulawayo Bureau
ZANU-PF has embarked on a vigorous national campaign to ensure development in all provinces ahead of its national conference and elections.
Addressing party members at Davies Hall here yesterday, the party’s national political commissar Cde Webster Shamu said a development committee would be set up to look into issues affecting residents.
“The committee will work closely with the acting provincial chairperson Cde Killian Sibanda and Bulawayo’s Governor and Resident Minister Cain Mathema to ensure that Bulawayo people, who are hungry for development, get it,” said Cde Shamu.
He said Zanu-PF had analysed 2008 election results and resolved that the party should be more prepared for the next elections.
“The results should reflect what political parties are doing on the ground. Now that people have seen the corruption, under development and lack of relationship between them and those they voted for, they are likely to vote more wisely.
“The message to Bulawayo should therefore be taken to them more vigorously in a structured manner so that they make the right decision to vote for Zanu-PF,” he said.
Cde Shamu said Bulawayo residents had realised through experience that there is nothing any other party had to offer better than Zanu-PF as they could now separate propaganda from the truth.
He urged party cadres to adhere to the Zanu-PF charter that had a zero tolerance on xenophobia, tribalism, nepotism, racism, regionalism and all other-isms that undermined the equality of Zimbabweans.
