President and First Secretary of the ruling party ZANU PF His Excellency Cde Emmerson Mnangagwa has reminded members of the ruling party Politburo that they have a sacrosanct duty to serve the people of Zimbabwe.
The President was addressing his colleagues during the 378th Ordinary Session of the Politburo at the party’s headquarters.
He chronicled the milestones attained by the ZANU PF led Second Republic before urging members to work harder so that the aspirations of the people are met as espoused by vision 2030.
“I have said before, we are a Party of action and results, ZANU PF is the vanguard of the people’s revolution, hence, we have the weighty task to effectively respond to challenges, obstacles and contradictions that our nation may face at any given time, said the ZANU PF First Secretary.
He reiterated the need for the party’s leadership to stay alert and never be lured by negative elements that might compromise their abilities to serve the people.
“Inaction, procrastination or flimsy distractions can never be tolerated. Scaling up production, productivity and hard honest work across all sectors of the economy should be our loud and clarion call to the general membership of the Party. Further, each and every one of us, here in the Politburo, and indeed all members, have a sacrosanct Constitutional obligation to uphold the unique character, principles and nature of our Party, ZANU PF,” he urged.
His Excellency also challenged the Party to resolutely oppose statements and actions that may undermine or distort our correct line of the revolution. All moves to damage the interests of the people of our great motherland; tamper with our unity, social harmony, development interest, sovereignty, security and overall national stability should be decisively dealt with.
The Politburo meeting came at a time the ruling is preparing for its annual people’s conference set for the ZITF grounds next month and in the midst of a growing section of the party pushing for a constitutional amendment to allow the incumbent to reign beyond his constitutionally mandated two terms. The President has thus far maintained that he is a constitutionalist who will abide by the constitution and not temper with it.
