Matutu calls for cadre deployment
GOVERNMENT should introduce cadre deployment to ensure party policies are implemented, Zanu-PF deputy secretary for Youth Affairs Cde Lewis Matutu has said.
Speaking at a Press briefing in Harare, Cde Matutu said Government should adopt what other developed countries such as China are doing.
“The Chinese government has adopted cadre deployment which is meant to ensure all party policies are implemented in Government.
“We should practice what is known as cadre deployment. People in key positions in Government be it directors, permanent secretaries, principal directors and other key positions like boards of parastatals. They must be deployed by the ruling party.
“They must be people who understand Zanu-PF policies. Who have gone through the Zanu-PF manifesto and understand what Zanu-PF is looking forward to in terms of implementation of those policies,” he said.
He said civil servants and those employed in parastatals cannot claim that they are apolitical while working for a Zanu-PF Government.
“We have people who would say that they are apolitical. They say that they do not want to have anything to do with Zanu-PF. We do not see them where policy issues are discussed in Zanu-PF, but they are working for the Zanu-PF Government.
“It is time for those people to resign because they are a danger to the vision of our President. They are an impediment to the expectations of the people who voted for the Zanu-PF manifesto.
“It is time for such characters to shape up or ship out. This is the position, our political Commissar Cde Victor Matemadanda has always been talking about it, but it is taking time to enforce and make sure that whoever occupies a Government position who does not believe in Zanu-PF leaves that position because we will need to explain certain things come 2023 in terms of what we would have achieved on our 2018 election promises,” he added.

He told The Herald on Monday that they are convinced as a party that dialogue was the best way of reviving the country’s economy.
“The MDC- T believes in dialogue as opposed to confrontation,” said Mr Gutu.
“As such, we shall remain an integral component and key player in the Political Actors Dialogue. We are convinced that dialogue is the best option of solving Zimbabwe’s socio- economic challenges.”
Mr Gutu said the party has re- branded and repositioned itself as a patriotic, Pan- Africanist and homegrown political party, contrary to the belief that it was created mainly for the purpose of fostering a regime change agenda.
“For far too long, the MDC- T has been branded as a puppet political party, a party created solely for the purpose of pursuing a regime change agenda in order to satisfy the whims and fanta
