President Mnangagwa has said the Zanu PF Women’s League is the backbone of the ruling party due to its grassroots mobilisation efforts.
Addressing the Women’s League National Assembly at the Zanu PF Headquarters in Harare this afternoon, the President said the strength and growth of the party are firmly anchored in the commitment and resilience of women.
“The strength of the party is anchored in the Women’s League. We will ensure that the Women’s League is supported and remains strong,” he said.
In recognition of the Women’s League’s grassroots mobilisation efforts, President Mnangagwa announced a reward scheme for the most active provincial structures.
The top-performing province will receive a motor vehicle, while the second and third prizes will be US$10 000 and US$5 000 respectively.
“The Women’s League has always stood by the party, and we must recognise their tireless work,” the President said, warning against internal discord. “We don’t want divisions in the party.”
He also saluted Zimbabwean women for their patriotism and commitment to national development.
“I salute the women of this great nation for their kind hearts and love for this country,” he said. “When women are empowered, communities are empowered.”
He highlighted his satisfaction with the performance of women he has appointed to leadership roles.
“As the President, l have not been disappointed with the women I have uplifted into leadership positions,” he noted, adding that the party is pushing for more gender-sensitive legislation.
The Women’s League National Assembly brought together delegates from across the country, reinforcing the League’s role in driving party programmes and national development.
