OFTENTIMES, some have a proclivity for spreading malice in an attempt to mislead people.
Many are inclined towards creating idealistic and unrealistic situations to serve their agenda, which can be detrimental to progress. Others are enemies of progress and have been at the centre of spreading malicious lies about imaginary and non-existent conflicts within our party’s rank and file.
ZANU PF has endured such attacks for the longest time and we are poised to fend them off again and remain united in our quest to achieve our aspirations for the benefit of our people and nation.
We should all take a cue from His Excellency, President Cde Dr ED Mnangagwa, who has humbled himself before the people to become the chief servant championing their cause and moving the nation forward.
Only this much is expected of us — serving our people fully. There is nothing to be gained in sideshows or sowing seeds of division.
Unity is at the centre of our party’s ideology, and we should never for a second deviate from this. We should not be led astray by those who harbour nefarious and harmful agendas detrimental to our cause.
The movement we have built and strengthened over the past few decades has the potential to last an eternity, for it is a movement that resides within the people’s hearts. Our movement is entrenched in constitutionalism and our leader, President Mnangagwa, is a staunch and unwavering constitutionalist. Crucially, the progress we have attained so far has come at a huge cost.
We have laboured to ensure that our colossal party, ZANU PF, endures for many more decades to come. We inherited this notion, idea and movement from those who came before us.
Many perished in the quest to see our country liberated from the jaws of colonialism. ZANU PF was used as the conduit for ensuring that the task of taking back our land is fulfilled.
Our people then yearned for the land, and the land we did deliver.
Our people now yearn for prosperity and improved livelihoods.
This again we are delivering through Vision 2030. We have done a lot, particularly during the tenure of President Mnangagwa in the Second Republic.
We still have much more to do.
The successful 21st National People’s Conference held in Bulawayo recently demonstrated the seriousness with which ZANU PF takes the business of moving our beloved country forward.
The National People’s Conference came up with some robust resolutions meant to be implemented by the Government and drive its business forward.
ZANU PF takes the business of governing this country very seriously, which is why maximum effort is placed on coming up with resolutions that will benefit our people and improve their livelihoods. ZANU PF labours to ensure that the needs of our people are met and their lives are improved. However, the ruling party can only perform at its optimum when we are united and pulling in one direction.
Those who seek to sow seeds of division among us are enemies of the people and enemies of our great nation, for ZANU PF is the path to our country’s, as well as our people’s prosperity. Throughout human history, there have been no civilisations that were divided amongst themselves that prospered.
Divisions have oftentimes resulted in the collapse of many a civilisation.
This is why His Excellency, President Mnangagwa, has been advocating home-grown solutions to drive our precious nation forward.
Zimbabwe will be developed by Zimbabweans; there is no question about that. But it is how this will be achieved that is of utmost importance.
It is prudent to highlight that our nation will only prosper if and when our people move in one direction.
As demonstrated by the success of the just-ended 21st National People’s Conference, there are no divisions within the rank and file of our party or its leadership. We remain committed and united as ever.
The goal — to take our precious country forward — has not changed.
There were many opinions expressed before the 21st National People’s Conference concerning the state of our party, and all these were proved to be untrue.
Such fallacies, misinformation and disinformation should not for a second be entertained by our people. We should remain focused and keep on working towards meeting our goals as a nation. With unity and purpose, Vision 2030 is upon us comrades. We should thus not allow ourselves to be led astray at this critical juncture.
There is one ZANU PF, which is united towards our common end.
