Zanu-PF integrates ex-DCC members

The party recently abolished DCCs follow­ing concerns that the structure was no longer serving the best interests of the party.
Following the decision, Zanu-PF dispatched a high-powered delegation led by Secretary for Administration Cde Didymus Mutasa to all provinces to explain the issue.
The Central Committee and the provinces have since endorsed the resolution.
Last week the Politburo announced that members who were in DCCs would not be fired, but rehabilitated and reassigned into other structures of the party.
Acting Zanu-PF Bulawayo chairperson Cde Killian Sibanda said the province had taken over the assets previously used by DCCs and was working on building the party ahead of the next election. “We held our inter-district meet­ing on Saturday where we discussed how the party will be administered after the abolition of DCCs. We also did the hand-over take-over of the assets,” he said.
Zanu-PF chairman for Matabeleland South Cde Andrew Langa said: “We held our provin­cial executive council meeting last week and agreed that starting from Wednesday (tomor­row), we will visit all our districts and explain the DCC issue.”
Zanu-PF Matabeleland North provincial secretary for administration Cde Clifford Sibanda said the province was working on strategies to strengthen the party to win the next poll.
“We held a meeting on Thursday where we deliberated on how to strategise the party after dissolution of DCCs.
“We then agreed to set a date for the inter-district confer­ence where we will advise everyone on how we will move on,” said Cde Sibanda.
National commissar Cde Webster Shamu has since been assigned to look into how for­mer DCC members could be absorbed into other party structures.
