By Own Correspondent| A Zanu Pf Central Committee report has revealed that the July 30 harmonised polls were the most highly funded elections in the history of the party.
Zanu Pf got just over $5 million in a grant by the government in 2018 and a huge chunk of the money was used during the July 30 polls.
The party won more than two-thirds majority in Parliament.
Read the report:
“They were the most highly funded elections since attainment of independence, and as a result, the party won overwhelmingly by more than two-thirds majority in Parliament. The party successfully raised resources to fund the 2018 harmonised election campaigns, albeit it still runs on overdraft to sustain the administrative expenses.”
ZANU PF also has plans to activate and spruce up its security department. In June 2018, a grenade attack on a ZANU PF rally in Bulawayo almost wiped out the party leadership, and again, in August, ZANU PF offices were set on fire in Harare.
The report read:
“The party’s security departments need to be activated, strengthened and conscientised on their roles to ensure that infiltration of the party at all levels is monitored and exposed. This is so since Zanu PF has always had numerous enemies always operating within its structures. In addition, vigilance needs to be maintained. Physical security at party offices needs to be improved to avoid property being damaged and people being injured.”-Newsday
