Zanu-PF to sharpen strategies: Khaya Moyo

construction in Gweru in preparation for the December meeting.
Cde Khaya Moyo said the conference would also audit implemented resolutions of the conference held in Bulawayo last year.

“The national co-ordinating committee has been meeting after every fortnight to ensure a resounding success of the conference,” said Cde Khaya Moyo. “It is very important to note that the conference is not an ordinary conference. This will be a special one as it comes before harmonised elections which at the moment are earmarked possibly for March 2013.”

He said preparations for the conference were progressing well.
Cde Khaya Moyo said they dispatched a team to the Midlands province last week to inspect facilities that would be used during the conference. He said there were eight sub committees that were set up to handle the preparations for the conference.

Cde Khaya Moyo said they had also set up a provincial co-ordinating committee working in the Midlands.
The national co-ordinating committee, he said, would work on the theme of the conference at its next meeting. “We are still receiving proposals on the theme and we will also decide on the number of delegates at our next meeting.
Last year’s conference drew 6 000 delegates drawn from the country’s 10 provinces.

As part of its last year’s resolutions, Zanu-PF wanted general elections to be held this year.
However, the polls were moved to next year after Copac failed to complete the constitution making process early.
Crafting of the new constitution is one of the major aspects agreed by parties in the inclusive Government before going to elections.

Meanwhile, Zanu-PF Midlands provincial committee toured the giant 5 000 seater conference centre under construction last week.
The facility will be equipped with modern technology. The massive project, situated 15km along the Gweru Mvuma Road, is spearheaded by the Midlands Development Association led by Zvishavane Runde legislator, Cde Larry Mavima.

The project, estimated to cost US$6,5 million, should be completed in time for the conference in December.
Briefing a national task force led by the party’s National Political Commissar, Cde Webster Shamu, Cde Mavima said the complex would also house Zanu-PF’s provincial offices as well as reserve a wing for the offices of the Presidium.

Cde Mavima who is also the party’s provincial vice chairperson, told journalists the massive project signalled the renaissance of Zanu-PF. “This is a multifaceted project that we embarked on. The facility has an estimated budget of about US$6,5 million but this can be reviewed as work progresses.”

We are 100 percent on course for the completion of the facility. We have the capacity, the resources, the will and commitment to undertake such a massive project despite the illegal sanctions imposed on us. It is renewal on our part. Renewal starts in the mind before it translates into work. As a party we are making a strong statement that we are here to stay,” he said.
