Politburo meets today

THE ZANU-PF Politburo will meet today at the ruling party’s national headquarters in Harare, the party’s national spokesperson Cde Simon Khaya Moyo confirmed yesterday.

“Yes we are meeting tomorrow (today) and we expect members to be seated early. The media will be briefed on deliberations after the meeting ends.”

The Politburo meeting comes at a time ZANU-PF is preparing for its 17th Annual National People’s Conference to be held at Mzingwane High School, Esigodini, in Matabeleland South.

The indaba runs from December 10 to 15.

The national coordination committee on Sunday met provincial leaders and toured the venue in preparation for the event.

ZANU-PF national chairperson Cde Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri was impressed with the work done so far to improve facilities at the school.

“We’re counting down the remaining days before the big event and we are here to assess the progress on the ground,” she said.

“I must say that I’m impressed. People have been working round the clock and the work is remarkable. We hope that by Sunday most of the work will be complete. We’re coming back on Sunday for another assessment before the delegates come in.”

She said water and sanitation issues had been addressed to avoid an outbreak of cholera.
