Khaya-Moyo challenges party to reclaim lost seats

provincial leadership to exorcise the ghost of 2008 by reclaiming all the seats that were lost to the MDC formations.
Addressing workers and senior Zanu PF officials at Hippo Valley country club in Chiredzi during commemorations to mark the Workers’ Day organised by the Zimbabwe Sugar Milling Industry Workers’ Union last week, Cde Khaya Moyo said Zanu PF should regain the lost seats.
He said it was imperative for party cadres to promote Zimbabwe’s quest to be a truly sovereign country while at the same time espousing Government’s empowerment programmes.
“I want to say to all of you today that the seats that were lost in the year 2008 (elections) should come back. I really do not know what happened for the seats to be lost because I was in South Africa but those seats must come back.
“We want those seats, all of them to come back under the banner of Zanu PF,” he said. Cde Khaya Moyo said workers should be subservient to the values of the party.
“To those who have been deployed by the party, I wish to emphasise that we do not want a situation where the deployed party cadres will actually want to show more authority compared even to that of the President,
“We are all products of the party and we should toe the party line because it is not the Government that creates the party but it is the party which creates the Government,” he said.
“When you go to Luthuli House, the ANC Headquarters, you smell power and that is the way it should be and we must make sure as party cadres that the destiny of our country is in our hands.”
Cde Khaya Moyo said: “We have a problem with our civil servants who are working under the inclusive Government but the problem is that these three legs are not equal so there is a default with the other two legs; so there is a problem and the quicker we switch off the oxygen the better,” he said.
He said some political parties in Zimbabwe were stuck with the naïve belief that the struggle for the country started in 1999. Cde Khaya Moyo described the belief as disastrous.
The commemorations were also attended by Zanu-PF Politburo member Cde Dzikamai Mavhaire, Masvingo Governor and Resident Minister Titus Maluleke, Chiredzi North legislator Cde Ronald Ndaba and Zismiwu secretary general Cde Admore Hwarare, among others.
