President Mnangagwa has called on Zanu PF members to prioritise unity, discipline and ideological alignment, warning against self-seeking tendencies that threaten the cohesion of the ruling party.
Addressing the 130th Ordinary Session of the Central Committee at the party headquarters in Harare today, President Mnangagwa said the revolutionary movement must remain anchored on its founding values of sovereignty, unity and people-centred development.
He urged party leaders to guard against complacency, division and ideological drift, stressing that Zanu PF is a party of order and rules that must be adhered to at all times.
“The party has no room for malcontents and traitors who are bent on advancing self-seeking behaviours,” he said.
“Across the rank and file, all party cadres have a duty to demonstrate strict discipline and to remain aligned to the correct line of the revolution. Let’s put unity above personal gain.”
The President paid tribute to departed national heroes, including Brigadier Generals (Rtd) Samuel Mpabanga and Jonathan Willie Hungwe, Cde Elison Mupamaonde, Cde Cosmas Chiringa and Major General (Rtd) Dr Hebert Chingono, whose contributions to the liberation and
development of Zimbabwe were immeasurable.
He said the national heroes’ legacies should inspire renewed commitment to defending the gains of independence.
President Mnangagwa challenged the Central Committee to align its programmes with the aspirations of the people while implementing resolutions of the 22nd National People’s Conference and the National Development Strategy 2 (NDS2).
He emphasised the need to boost production and productivity across all sectors, calling for grassroots mobilisation to improve livelihoods at household and community levels.
The President highlighted the importance of Standing Committees in strengthening policy coherence, accountability and internal democracy, urging regular meetings to enhance efficiency and responsiveness within party structures.
He commended the party for recent by-election victories, attributing the success to strong grassroots mobilisation and pro-people policies, but warned against complacency.
On national development, President Mnangagwa noted progress made in infrastructure rehabilitation, agricultural prospects and value addition initiatives.
He, however, acknowledged global economic challenges, including the impact of Middle East conflicts.
President Mnangagwa urged Zimbabweans to remain resilient and united in driving development, saying the journey towards Vision 2030 requires collective commitment, patriotism and focus.
