Harare, (New Ziana) – The ruling Zanu PF Harare province has crafted and adopted its draft positions that will be submitted to the leadership ahead of the party’s annual National People’s Conference to be held in Mutare, Manicaland province, from 13 to 18 October this year.
Zanu PF conferences are a cornerstone of the party’s organisational evaluation, strategic recalibration, and in-house policymaking.
Speaking after an inter-district meeting in Harare, Zanu PF Harare provincial chairman Godwills Masimirembwa expressed confidence that their resolutions would shape the party’s policy.
“We have just concluded our provincial inter-district meeting, where we crafted and adopted draft positions that will shape the party and national development. Those positions will be forwarded to the party’s leadership through our national chairperson Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri.
“As Harare province, we are in full support of the resolution that was made at the national conference in Bulawayo last year for President Mnangagwa to continue serving as the leader of the party and the nation until 2030. This will enable him to complete all the projects that he initiated,” he said.
President Mnangagwa is however on record stating unambiguously that he respects the Constitution and he will retire when his second term expires in 2028.
Masimirembwa added that they resolved that the appropriate party and government structures should work on the necessary Constitutional amendments to enable the extension of President Mnangagwa’s term.
“On this resolution, our position as Harare province is that general elections must be deferred to 2031, and we expect Parliament to play its role in making sure that some amendments are made to the Constitution so that elections can be postponed. Our position is in recognition of the infrastructural development that we have been witnessing in Harare.
“Most projects have already been completed, while others are at various stages of completion, hence our stance for the extension of President Mnangagwa’s term,” he said.
In the capital, the Trabablas Interchange has transformed transportation, while another Interchange is currently under construction in Mabvuka, along the Harare-Mutare highway. Apart from the transport sector, there has also been transformations in other sectors, including health, agriculture, and education.
