Zanu PF Secretary General Advocate Jacob Mudenda has challenged provincial leadership to be ideologically grounded, politically conscious, and organisationally coherent.
Speaking at the Zanu PF Harare Provincial outreach programme this afternoon, Advocate Mudenda emphasised that ideology serves as the guiding compass that defines the party’s values and its relationship with the people.
“Without ideological clarity, our structures become hollow, our programmes lose direction, and our members become vulnerable to political manipulation. Therefore it is essential that every provincial structure imbibes the party’s ideology and is able to translate it into a lived experience,” said Advocate Mudenda.
He and his delegation have so far conducted four Provincial Coordinating Committee outreach programmes in Manicaland, Mashonaland East, Mashonaland West, and Harare province.
Advocate Mudenda highlighted that the Provincial Coordinating Committee meeting and Provincial Executive Committee must prioritise political education and ideological orientation in their work. He said every party cadre should understand the history of the party.
“They should appreciate the values of the liberation struggle, the principles of nationalism, Pan-Africanism, and the contemporary policy direction of the party.
“We must ensure that new members are not merely recruited or converted in numbers; they should be fully convinced cadres who are loyal, disciplined, and capable of defending the party in all circumstances. A poorly oriented cadre, on the other hand, becomes a weak link within our structures,” he added.
The Harare provincial outreach programme was attended by Zanu PF National Political Commissar Cde Munyaradzi Machacha, Treasurer General Cde Patrick Chinamasa, Zanu PF Secretary for Education, Research and Ideology Cde Charles Tawengwa, Secretary for War Veterans Cde
Douglas Mahiya, Politburo member Cde Omega Hungwe, Deputy Secretary for Security Cde Tendai Chirau, Harare Provincial Chairman Cde Godwills Masimirembwa and Harare Provincial Political Commissar Cde Voyage Dambuza, among others.
The meeting is being held at the Zanu PF Harare provincial offices.
