By Own Correspondent| Former Home Affairs minister and Zanu Pf Secretary for Administration Obert Mpofu has revealed that President Emmerson Mnangagwa has reorganised and modernised the ruling party following the Chinese and South African models where the party is supreme to government therefore directs government operations.

Mpofu said Mnangagwa had effected the Chinese and South Africa models where politburo members were full time employees who ran government operations through ministers.

Said Mpofu in an interview with a local publication:

“If you look at the Communist Party of China, it is responsible for directing Government. Politburo members are full-time employees and they run the operations of Government through the minister…

In our case, the President in his wisdom has assigned certain key department to run full-time. This is aimed to strengthen the operations of the party both organisationally and operationally.

…We will be working closely with institutions of development and ensure that they conform to agreed positions by the party; I am talking about Government institutions.

As is always said, the party is supreme. The President of the country is the Supreme President of the party and in this case, our President Cde Mnangagwa is the President and First Secretary and he is the one who appoints Government on behalf of the party.”-statemedia
