Members of the ruling ZANU-PF party in Bulawayo’s Greens District gathered on Saturday to take part in an ongoing cell membership verification exercise, an initiative party officials say is aimed at strengthening grassroots structures and improving organisational efficiency.
The exercise, conducted at the cell level, forms part of a broader nationwide effort by the party to audit and update its membership records while mobilising new supporters ahead of future political programmes and campaigns.
Party officials on the ground described the process as orderly and well attended, with participation cutting across age groups.
The Greens District chairperson, Cde Tendai Charuka, said the exercise had been met with enthusiasm from both existing members and recruits.
“We are happy to hold our cell verification process. We recorded more than 26 cell groups and more than 322 new members, who appreciate the works of our President, Cde Mnangagwa,” said Cde Charuka.
He said the turnout reflected growing confidence in the party’s leadership and policy direction, particularly at community level, where party programmes are often most visible.
According to Cde Charuka, the steady rise in membership was an indication that the party’s message continued to resonate with residents in the district.
Cde Charuka added that strong and functional grassroots structures were essential to ensuring effective communication between party leadership and ordinary citizens. He said cell-level organisation remained the backbone of the party, enabling communities to actively participate in development initiatives and political processes.
