CHINHOYI — Giving a vote of thanks, ZANU PF Second Secretary and Vice President, Cde Kembo Mohadi, praised President Mnangagwa for fundamentally altering how the ruling party measures the success of its annual gatherings.
Delivering his address at the Chinhoyi University of Technology (CUT) following the President’s official opening speech at the 23rd National People’s Conference, VP Mohadi asserted that the days of valuing conferences merely by the quantity of text produced are gone.
“Before you assumed leadership of our Party, the measure of success of our past conferences was the volume of resolutions adopted,” Dr Mohadi stated, addressing the First Secretary directly.
“Your Excellency, you have raised the bar. The question we must now ask is not what we resolved, but what we have delivered.”
Enforcing Strict Accountability across All Sectors
Emphasising the strategic execution of this year’s theme — “From Resolutions to Results: Consolidating Economic Development and Deepening Empowerment Towards Vision 2030”— VP Mohadi declared that every single directive generated at the conference must translate into immediate, actionable tasks.
Key directives for party accountability include:
• Clear Ownership: Every single resolution must be assigned a specific structural “owner” or driver.
• Strict Timelines: Deadlines must accompany every initiative to eliminate stagnation.
• Mandatory Reporting: When delegates reconvene in future sessions, the metric of evaluation will strictly be results rather than intentions.
VP Mohadi made it clear that this operational paradigm serves as an uncompromising charge to every structure of the ruling party, as well as all Government Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
Economic Milestones Authenticated by Global Financial Bodies
VP Mohadi pointed out that the fruits of President Mnangagwa’s pragmatic leadership are already glaringly visible across all macro-economic sectors, noting that production has fully revived and nationwide confidence is surging.
He validated these economic successes by citing the latest evaluations from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which logged Zimbabwe’s economic growth at a remarkable 8.3 percent in 2025 and projected a solid 5 percent growth for 2026.
“We are already surpassing that projection,” VP Mohadi told the enthusiastic delegates, highlighting that the country’s economic trajectory remains firmly on course to achieve an upper-middle-income society by 2030.
