co-ordinating committee members who are assigning themselves roles in their areas without national leadership’s consent, the party’s national chairman Cde Simon Khaya Moyo said yesterday.
He said members were reportedly forming “mobilisation taskforces”, insisting they were still in charge of the districts.
Addressing Zanu-PF political commissars during a workshop in Harare yesterday, Cde Khaya Moyo said the members’ actions were unconstitutional.
The workshop, the third one to be held this year, was aimed at discussing party activities and programmes in
all the 10 provinces.
“Your meeting is coming against a backdrop of the disbanding of the DCCs and we are hearing some of you are transforming what was destroyed into mobilisation taskforces.
“Note that the disbandment was done by the central committee, a body that acts on behalf of the congress. But some of you are acting as if they are not aware of the party constitution. We are going to act accordingly because no one should co-ordinate anything in the districts,” he said.
Cde Khaya Moyo said members should wait to be absorbed into the party structures.
“You are going to be accommodated when the time comes. The party has got structures and no one should turn Zanu-PF into a tuckshop and own people.

“I am instructing national political commissar Cde Webster Shamu to ensure that there is no such act in the provinces,” he said.
He said the forthcoming Second All Stakeholders’ Conference would show Zimbabweans that views gathered during the outreach programme were tampered with.
“We have got the Copac draft amended by Zanu-PF, which we are going to take together with the national report and it will be time for people to see who is fooling who.
“If your views are not in their report, which we have already seen, then it means it is not a people-driven Constitution. The constitution-making process has taken too long and it has to be concluded,” he said.
Party members, Cde Khaya Moyo said, should be ready for general elections.
He said the party would not allow the imposition of candidates.
“Elections are imminent because the current Parliament cannot exceed its lifespan. Let us not repeat what we did in 2008 where we lost seats because of the imposition of candidates. People should choose their leaders freely and vices like imposition of candidates should not be given a chance,” he said.
He urged party members to register as voters. “An election is a game of numbers and it is also your duty, commissars, to ensure that people are registered. Let us remain disciplined and focused as we get rid of this dysfunctional unity Government,” he said.
The event was also attended by some politburo members who included comrades Olivia Muchena and Oppah Muchinguri.
