PRESIDENT Mnangagwa’s vision of an upper-middle income society by 2030 requires a united front between civil servants and Zanu PF executives, who should collaborate seamlessly to implement government policies and drive economic progress.
This was said by Minister of State for Presidential Affairs in the Office of the President and Cabinet, Lovemore Matuke, yesterday while presiding over a meeting between the Bulawayo Provincial Development Committee and the party’s Provincial Co-ordinating Committee at Mhlahlandlela Government Complex.
This was the first time Government organised such a meeting, attended by Bulawayo Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister Judith Ncube, who led the Government delegation, while Cde Jabulani Sibanda headed the Zanu PF provincial leadership.
Minister Matuke said civil servants should recognise they are implementing the policies of the Zanu PF Government and are expected to align with its vision.
He said the current agenda is to ensure the country attains Vision 2030, two years earlier than initially planned, as President Mnangagwa has already outlined.
Minister Matuke, who is also the Secretary for Security in the Politburo, stressed the importance of civil servants understanding the structure of the ruling party, noting that Politburo members hold higher positions compared to ministers.
“In every country, the ruling party forms the Government of the day. In our case, we have a Zanu PF Government responsible for delivery both as a party and the Government. Therefore, we believe party officials and Government officials are both stakeholders in the Government. The purpose of the meeting is to close the gap and ensure we carry out our development projects without any discord,” said Minister Matuke.
