Fungai Lupande Mashonaland Central Bureau
Mashonaland Central Province is excited as it hosts a number of Zanu PF delegates attending the party’s 19th national annual people’s conference.
The conference started on Wednesday with a Politburo meeting being held at the Zanu PF headquarters in Harare, followed by a Central Committee meeting yesterday.
Today, attention shifts to Bindura, Mashonaland Central province, where Zanu PF officials, led by the revolutionary party’s First Secretary and President, Cde Mnangagwa, will converge at Bindura University of Science Education (BUSE), the main venue.
All delegates are getting tested for Covid-19 at the point of entry to the venue, while those that were tested yesterday will have to carry their negative certificates.
Equally, all delegates will have to have their Covid-19 vaccination cards if they are to be allowed into the venue.
The sitting arrangement in the main auditorium is in line with the stipulated social distancing as dictated by the Ministry of Health and Child Care.
Mashonaland Central has two centres, with one at Chipadze High School from where other provincial representatives would be following proceedings virtually, joining the nine other provinces watching from their areas.
Provincial chairperson of the fundraising committee, Dr Lazarus Dokora, yesterday said the province was in an excellent position after successfully mobilising resources.
“We have pulled all the stops to ensure that we hold a successful conference,” he said.
“We are in a good place. As a province, we are focusing on achieving an upper middle class economy by 2030.
“In remote areas, people are united with the party and they offer to contribute the little they have towards the conference so that they can hear what the President has for the nation, where we are going and how they can participate in that journey.”
