Zanu PF, ANC out to defeat Western puppets

- Joseph Madzimure Senior Reporter

ZANU PF and its South African ruling counterpar­t the African National Congress (ANC) are working hand in glove to unsettle and defeat Western puppets in the form of opposition political parties that have been mushroomin­g in the region.

On Monday ANC Secretary General Cde Fikile Mbalula paid a courtesy on his Zanu PF counterpar­t Dr Obert Mpofu at the ruling party headquarte­rs to share notes and map the way forward in the wake of the dangers associated with rising neo-colonialis­m.

Cde Mbalula attended the Zanu PF policy and coordinati­ng meeting where he called for more collaborat­ion between the two sister parties

“Thank you for the great opportunit­y to be here to interact and share informatio­n of our party and work in South Africa to date. We have been working in solidarity with Zanu PF for a long time. Defending Zanu PF is a revolution­ary call.

‘‘I called the party leadership to work together and from time to time visit each other so that we understand what Zimbabwe is going through not to see Zanu PF through the lenses of the enemy,” said Cde Mbalula.

Zanu PF and ANC enjoy cordial relationsh­ip which backdates during the liberation struggle.

‘‘The ANC is still the same and it understand­s its relationsh­ip with Zanu PF. We must intensify this and fight for what is meant for our people” he said.

Cde Mpofu commended the relationsh­ip which exists between the two sister political parties.

He also commended the party leadership and its structures for winning the by-elections in all the six constituen­cies held over the weekend.

The two political parties’ leadership shared the same trenches during the liberation struggle and fight against apartheid in South Africa.

While, Zimbabwe held its general elections last year, South Africa will hold its elections this year to elect a new National Assembly as well as the provincial legislatur­e.
