The rulling Zanu PF party, has implored provincial structures to give conference feedback to the grassroots structures, to ensure they are well informed on the outcome of the 23rd Zanu PF Annual National People’s Conference held in Chinhoyi last month.
The party’s secretary for information and publicity, Ambassador Christopher Mutsvangwa, noted that the 23rd Zanu PF National People’s Conference lived up to its billing, with the revolutionary party making key economic decisions to improve the lives of ordinary people.
“The conference was a resounding success, well organised; even the resolutions we made will solve a lot of things in the country. We adopted them, and we are very excited,” said Ambassador Mutsvangwa in a statement.
He highlighted that President Mnangagwa, as the First Secretary of the party, gave strategic direction to party cadres at the historic conference, enjoining them to play their part to ensure that the lives of ordinary people were uplifted.
“A more confident President Mnangagwa rallied the party cadres to go back to the people to preach, practice and spread the gospel of progress. This will ensure better livelihoods,” he noted.
The Chinhoyi Conference, he stated, turned out to be a beacon pointing firmly towards economic development shepherded by a strong executive.
This trajectory, he said, rides upon stable political order. All this was made possible by the hard work of an enlightened, organised and structured population.
“The Conference marked the death of the epoch of debilitating, fractious and internecine politicking. The ensuing distraction had the bane of retarding and even choking progress,” he said.
The President, he said, emerged with his authority fully stamped, an uncontested hold on the party and a firm grip on national governance.
Ambassador Mutsvangwa said President Mnangagwa boldly and squarely pivoted on the Economic Agenda of Vision 2030 and the prospect of Middle-Income status.
He highlighted that President Mnangagwa poignantly underscored the centrality of building “Value Chains” in the delivery of goods and services for the demanding global marketplace.
He clarified that this endeavour will unlock value from the bonanza of mineral resources, equable climate and fertile soils so that societies can reap and enjoy deserved prosperity.
“Zimbabwe’s developed and disciplined labour force is renowned for its attribute of converting capital to profit.
“He had an impeccable track record with solid case studies of proven and thriving national business in food security, horticulture exports, mineral beneficiation to platinum, steel and lithium, among others”.
The conference, he said, focused on issues affecting the people and charted the economic recovery path.
“A can-do spirit pervaded deliberations, exuding strong communion between the party leadership and its party across all its organs,” he said.
“The organisation of the conference itself spoke of a party aspiring to full modernity. It was a carnival atmosphere. Slick as clockwork orange, the forward-looking image had shades of splendour.”
The Zanu-PF-led Government will continue implementing policies aimed at driving economic development, modernising and industrialising the country, while addressing the concerns of ordinary Zimbabweans.
