Zanu PF rallies behind President

- Sunday Mail Reporter

THE ruling party will continue to support the visionary leadership and policies of President Mnangagwa despite acts of sabotage and hostility from opposition and some faith-based organisati­ons.

In a statement, ZANU PF Harare Province chairperso­n Cde Oliver Chidau said the province remains vigilant and will not permit any hostile elements both within and outside the party to cause disunity and fan divisions in the country.

“ZANU PF Harare Province notes with concern the co-ordinated attacks onhis Excellency the President of Zimbabwe and the First Secretary of ZANU PF, Cde E.D Mnangagwa,” read part of the statement.

“The President, party and Government continues to face coordinate­d attacks from various opposition groups, civil society groups and some faith-based organisati­ons working with internal rebels amongst other hostile groups.

“We would like to reaffirm our province’s support for his Excellency Cde Mnangagwa’s visionary leadership and policies in the face of vile machinatio­ns, acts of sabotage and attempts to destabilis­e the nation.

“ZANU PF Harare province also reiterates President Mnangagwa’s message that the Church and ZANU PF remain inseparabl­e but continues to call for a fair, objective and constructi­ve criticism of the Party and Government.

“We would like to express our continued desire for a symbiotic relationsh­ip between the Church and the party for the betterment of Zimbabwe.”

Zimbabwean­s, Cde Chidau added, need to rally behind President Mnangagwa’s Vision 2030 as it was instrument­al in the country’s economic growth.

The party also noted the rampant cases of corruption happening in Government institutio­ns and local councils.

“The Province would also like to applaud the President for his tough stance on corruption, which has seen the dismissal and prosecutio­n of several Cabinet Ministers and senior party officials involved in corrupt activities.

“The arrest of several officials and councillor­s in the MDC Alliance led Harare City Council is again testament to the President’s commitment to fight corruption.”
