In an interview yesterday, Cde Khaya Moyo said the committees were set up on Friday last week following reports from ad hoc committees established at a meeting held last month.
He said the party’s regional leadership in the three provinces met on June 5 this year to look at issues affecting the region.
“The committees in their research will liaise with relevant authorities including governors to establish priority areas in each sector for the desired goals to improve the quality of life of the people.
“We are determined to galvanise our people across the country and give meaning to our sovereignty and total independence as demonstrated by our success on the land reform.
“We shall relentlessly pursue our policy of complete control of our resources through indigenisation and economic empowerment,” he said.
Cde Khaya-Moyo said the party expected people to change their mindset and start acting for their betterment than complaining.
“We look forward to a new mindset that shall capture the moment and become a propelling force to develop our respective regions without spending energy on complaining and doing nothing.
“We should be disciplined, resourceful and hardworking and come up with meaningful projects and programmes to benefit our people. Everybody will have to play a part in promoting regional development in spite of the illegal sanctions imposed on our country by the West,” he said.
Cde Khaya Moyo said at a meeting hosted by Bulawayo province, the leadership had agreed to work for the region’s development.
“The Zanu-PF leadership in Matabeleland region has taken it upon themselves to ensure that the region doesn’t lag behind in development and other related issues of human upliftment.
“It was against this background that the leadership encompassing the three provinces met on June 5 to address these matters. The meeting was chaired by Vice President John Nkomo.
“The earlier meeting was more of a brain storming meeting but thoroughly focused on issues of the land, the state of the industry in Bulawayo, education, health and water affairs. Ad hoc committees were then formed to investigate and advise on the way forward,” he said.
