Gvt to improve rural lives

GWERU – The government will this term roll out devolution projects aimed at improving lives of the
rural fork, President Emmerson Mnangagwa has said.

Speaking during Zanu PF’s 20 th National People’s Conference in Gweru last week, President
Mnangagwa said the government will ensure delivery of quality services and that projects are
completed on time, in keeping with the culture of the Second Republic.

“During this new term, and as encouraged by this conference, devolution projects will receive
greater support to improve the quality of infrastructure and services for our people, particularly
those in rural areas,” President Mnangagwa said.

The President said the people played their part during the liberation struggle and the government
should therefore solve their needs and keep their development aspirations in mind.

Government, President Mnangagwa said should harness their comparative advantages to accelerate
rural industrialisation, which is of paramount importance.

“The devolution and decentralisation agenda carries with it our enduring revolutionary philosophy
‘masimba kuvanhu’.”

Through the devolution and decentralisation agenda, marked transformation in the infrastructure
landscape across districts was evident, he said.

“Our ruling Zanu PF Party must fully exercise the mandate entrusted on us to drive the success and
prosperity of our nation.”

“As a listening mass revolutionary party, let us continue to demonstrate that we are committed to
wholeheartedly serving our great motherland by crafting and implementing development policies
that improve the quality of life of our people.”

“Zanu PF is a party of our heritage and a party for the future; we are modernising, re-organising, re-
calibrating and rejuvenating. Forward ever, backward never.”

He said the conference had re-affirmed Zanu PF, as a revolutionary mass party and an ideal home of
all the people of Zimbabwe.

“Going into the future, let us continue to display this defining character and unity in all other
endeavours,” he said.

The Party, he said should assume a greater sense of responsibility and renewed resolve towards
providing requisite leadership, guidance and support for the speedy implementation of policies,
programmes and projects.
