The revolutionary Zanu PF party has invited 20 members from Diaspora districts to attend its National Annual People’s Conference to be held in Bulawayo this month.
Delegates invited are those residing in Namibia, United Kingdom, Malawi, DRC, Ireland, South Africa, USA, Botswana, China and Mozambique.
Only two delegates from each district — the chairperson and district commissar are expected to attend.
Zanu PF National Political Commissar, Cde Munyaradzi Machacha, said the districts are required to send their resolutions and names of their delegates to the conference.
The revolutionary party has a lot to celebrate as its First Secretary and President, Cde Mnangagwa won the harmonised elections last year and recently assumed the SADC chairmanship.
The conference will take stock of successes and challenges encountered in the implementation of its policies.
Themed, “Industrialise and Modernise Towards the Attainment of Vision 2030” the conference is expected to discuss among other things, the state of the party, state of the economy, food security and nutrition, social services and poverty eradication, macroeconomic stability and re-engagement, infrastructure development and utilities as well as value addition and beneficiation.
Zanu PF has said this year’s conference will have a reduced number of delegates to move to allow robust engagement.
The conference is to be held at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair grounds in Bulawayo from October 22-27.
Zanu PF National chairman, Cde Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri recently said the number of delegates would be lower compared to previous conferences.
“We are happy to report that already, our agenda and programmes for the conference are in place. We have already agreed on the delegates that will be attending.
“It’s not everyone who will attend. It will be the Politburo members, Central Committee members, National Consultative Assembly members, provincial executive members and district co-ordinating committees and that also applies to organs of the party.
“We avoided bringing all lower engines of the party as we used to do in the past because we also learnt best practices from other countries such as China,” the chairman said.
Cde Muchinguri-Kashiri said the conference was essentially a policy review indaba where there would be robust discussions on refining party policies to align them with the country’s economic development goals.
