Zanu-PF Politburo member Chris Mutsvangwa has claimed the ruling party has come up with strategies to gain ground in opposition strongholds.

Mutsvangwa has indicated that the ruling party is aiming to reclaim support in urban constituencies as it sells Emmerson Mnangagwa’s transformational vision of growth and industrialisation.

Mutsvangwa is part of the team leading the ongoing restructuring in Harare after Mnangagwa recently disbanded party structures in the capital and in the second city of Bulawayo.

“The first President to put a package (for the urban populace) is ED, essentially by being pro-business, going for Special Economic Zones, by reforming the currency sector. Houses are not the distinguishing factor of urbanisation because in rural areas there are also houses. The distinguishing factor of urbanisation is industry — factories. What is a town? A town is a place where you process goods on a scale which makes it possible to supply a market through mass production.

That’s what a town is. If you miss that point, then it’s not a town,” declared Mutsvangwa.
