Zanu-PF Bulawayo endorses Mnangagwa

Published: 3 hours ago

Zanu PF's Bulawayo Province has unanimously resolved to back President Emmerson Mnangagwa's leadership beyond 2028, with all five District Coordinating Committees (DCCs) making the endorsement their top priority ahead of the party's 22nd National People's Annual Conference set for Mutare next month.

The resolution was announced yesterday by provincial chairperson Cde Jabulani Sibanda during a Provincial Coordinating Committee (PCC) meeting held at the party's provincial offices to consolidate resolutions from the districts.

Cde Sibanda commended the unity among the DCCs, saying that although the number of resolutions differed from district to district, they all converged on one central message.

"We have districts in various DCCs, from DCC One to DCC Five, in our province where we have been doing resolutions and looking at things we want the party to do. First, I am very proud of you because of the unity you showed during the inter-district meetings in your various DCCs," he said.

He emphasised that the province's primary resolution was the endorsement of President Mnangagwa, which he described as consistent with Zanu PF's core belief in unified leadership.

"There's one resolution that is very important to our party, one that became number one in all our DCCs," said Sibanda. "In that one revolutionary party, we have one revolutionary President, Cde Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa."

Sibanda said the grassroots message was clear: that by 2030, the party and government structures must recognise Mnangagwa as still serving as the nation's President.

He further argued that unity and continuity in leadership were critical for the ruling party to deliver on its goals, drawing parallels with Zimbabwe's history since independence.

"The unity of our people, when we talk about people as a united Zimbabwean nation, means that in every country, despite different languages and backgrounds, there is one leader at a time," he said.

Sibanda also reminded party members of Zanu PF's revolutionary milestones, from the liberation struggle of 1980 to the Land Reform Programme in the 2000s, framing them as successive stages of a continuous revolution under the guidance of strong leadership.

The endorsement by Bulawayo Province follows similar resolutions in other provinces, strengthening Mnangagwa's political base as the party heads towards its national conference.
