THE year 2024 was a remarkable one, as the revolutionary party went on with its business-as-usual approach, achieving a number of successes and milestones along the way.
The new year should be no different, as ZANU PF is poised to grow from strength to strength and achieve further milestones.
The year 2025 offers a clean slate and a chance to introspect and take corrective actions.
For my party, the highlight of 2024 was the annual National People’s Conference that we successfully held in Bulawayo province. We set the tone for the Government programmes through conference resolutions.
These resolutions should translate to actionable Governmental programmes that will result in massive benefits and improved livelihoods for our people.
Last year, we achieved quite a number of successes as ZANU PF, as we managed to meet our targets, again demonstrating that the revolutionary party is a well-oiled professional entity.
Just like any other organisation, we always seek to improve ourselves and streamline our operations to meet the needs of our electorate, whom we treat with the utmost importance.
This year will be no different, as ZANU PF is set to take the party to the people through several programmes.
One of the most important initiatives that we are set to complete this year is the cell/village verification programme.
This is essential for our party’s renewal and ensuring that all our members are captured in cell registers so that they are not left behind.
In addition to this, the party will strive to ensure that our people’s needs are met by ensuring that we achieve people-centric deliverables through the Government, which is our implementing agent.
As we accelerate our journey towards Vision 2030, through the implementation of National Development Strategy 2, we need all our people to have a buy-in of our nation’s vision.
Zimbabwe is for all Zimbabweans, and we should all play our part in its development.
Those who harbour ill will towards their country should perhaps rethink their misguided ways and channel all their energy towards the nation’s development.
If we are all united and patriotic, there is nothing that we cannot achieve.
Our nation will soar to greater heights.
We are all duty-bound and must ensure that our nation prospers.
We must not waste time on squabbles that draw our attention and waste our energy.
We are in the final stretch of ensuring that the firm foundation for our upper middle-income economy is set and that we are full steam ahead towards this goal that is set to change our nation and improve the livelihoods of our people.
The year 2025 should afford us time to introspect and really get in touch with our nation’s values.
We should all be on board with the vision of His Excellency, President Cde Dr ED Mnangagwa.
His vision is for the betterment of our country and people.
We are, therefore, called upon to channel our energy towards ensuring that our nation prospers.
Let us be a people who put Zimbabwe first over anything else.
Anything that is good for our nation should take precedence.
We are closer now to fulfilling our nation’s goals than ever before.
We should take pride in the strides we have made and achievements attained so far. We are indeed closer to our golden age than ever before.
The new Zimbabwe we are building is a marvel, and future generations will be proud and grateful to us for having made such efforts towards improving our nation.
As we venture into this fresh new year, let us all put Zimbabwe and her interests first and trust in the guidance of our leadership, as it is essential for reaching our vision as a nation.
Zimbabwe will prosper.
A prosperous Zimbabwe is indeed possible.
We are presently transitioning towards prosperity.
