Chimene, appealed to the people of Manicaland Province to come in their thousands, saying they want to surpass the benchmark set by Mashonaland East and set a new record for other provinces to beat.
“The party and Government are headed by His Excellency, President Mugabe, and as such, everyone is encouraged to play their part to ensure that the interactive meeting becomes a huge success. We are already on the ground, and various committees have been set up to ensure that all that is required to make President Mugabe’s visit to Manicaland a resounding success is in place. We are working as a team, and the business community is also involved,” said Cde Chimene.
Zanu- PF provincial youth chairperson, Cde Mubuso Chinguno, said that they were targeting to mobilise at least 60 000 party supporters for the Sakubva rally.
Cde Chinguno said they had invited the Women’s League, Vice-Presidents, Politburo, Central Committee members, war veterans and war collaborators.
The Zanu-PF Youth League said the presence of other party wings at an interface meeting between President Mugabe and the youths shows the party’s preparedness in addressing challenges of antagonism in the party.
“We want President Mugabe’s visit to Manicaland to be graced by at least 60 000, and youths across the province are working around the clock to ensure that the target is surpassed.
“Come June 16, Zanu- PF’s mobilisation muscle will be felt. It is an honour for Manicaland to be receiving a revered African icon in the form of President Mugabe,” said Cde Chinguno.
Dr Samuel Undenge said the initiative was being spearheaded by the youth league, the party as a whole has to come in to support and ensure it is successful.
“The party is fully behind the President’s visit and will chip in with logistical and resources support so that it is well attended. Everyone is enthusiastic and looking forward to the visit of our President and First Secretary of the party. We will do it as people of Manicaland. Resources will be availed by the party,” said Dr Undenge.
