Sunday Mail Reporter

ZANU PF Masvingo province has reiterated calls for President Mnangagwa to lead the country until 2030, urging the ruling party’s First Secretary to remain in office to finish ongoing projects that are designed to empower, industrialise and modernise Zimbabwe.

Addressing the ZANU PF Provincial Coordinating Committee (PCC) meeting in Masvingo on Friday, the party’s provincial chairperson, Cde Robson Mavhenyengwa, said the party’s 21st National People’s Conference held in Bulawayo resolved to extend the President’s term.

“This meeting was held to brief the party’s provincial leadership on the outcomes of the (National) People’s Conference we held in Bulawayo last month,” he said.

“We were meeting to forge a plan to go down to the districts to brief the lower echelons of the party that did not attend the conference on the resolutions that came out from the meeting.

“Mainly, we had a resolution that came out calling on President Mnangagwa to remain as the First Secretary of ZANU PF and leader of the country until 2030 to fulfil his Vision 2030.

“And, as party, we are calling on the President to stay on until 2030. Anyone who will succeed him will have to start on his own vision after we have attained Vision 2030.”

Speaking during the same meeting, ZANU PF Secretary for Security in the Politburo Cde Lovemore Matuke said: “We wish the President to always have wise leadership and also a very long leadership. But, at the same time, we can’t force anyone to love the President, but you will soon find out that the President is loved by many.

“When we say we want the President to stay on until 2030, we are saying his vision was shown to him by God and we want to stand behind him until it has been achieved.”
