Economic development to take centre stage at Zanu-PF conference
administrators are expected to work tirelessly to achieve the set targets because we want to see a difference within a period of five years. We have given ourselves a target to say 12 years from now Zimbabwe should have transformed into an upper middle income economy. We are very determined to achieve this although there are teething problems. These challenges are expected just like a woman giving birth has to go through labour pains for her to be delighted at the end,” he said.
VP Mohadi singled out the shortage of foreign currency, which we he said he was confident will be overcome as the Government was working on opening up a number of lines of credit to address the problem.
Commenting on the preparations for the conference, VP Mohadi said: “I am impressed because the bulk of infrastructure is complete and what is left is the partitioning and a few other areas to be worked on. I made a brief tour of the venue and I am confident that by the time we host our conference, everything will be in order.”
He said it has become the norm that whenever the party holds its annual conferences, the venue get spruced and during the conference locals enjoy good business.
VP Mohadi said the conference will also provide an opportunity for the party to market itself to prospective members.
“Politically, the conference will certainly send a message even to those that are not in Zanu-PF that we are organised and that we are really a party for the people. I am pretty sure that everyone will be impressed by what they will see here. We don’t coerce people to come, they come on their own,” he said.
President Mnangagwa, who is also the ruling party’s First Secretary, will officially open the conference on December 14. — @mashnets
