Farai Dziva|They say language is dynamic.

Newly-appointed ZANU PF national political commissar Victor Matemadanda has virtually admitted that the ruling party is totally divorced from the people.

In his message yesterday Matemadanda vowed to “return the party to the people” literally implying that Zanu PF is divorced from the people of Zimbabwe.

Matemadanda replaced retired army officer, Engelbert Rugeje who remains a politburo member without portfolio.

“Any person can become a king in a political party. ZANU PF is a mass party and if people are not educated they will think that authority is vested in people they find in the structures.

Yet this is misleading; a party becomes a people’s party when people have complete ownership.

Our immediate task is to take the party from individual ownership to the people using the philosophy of democratic centralism where everyone is equally important,” said Matemadanda.
