By A Correspondent- Zanu PF Bulawayo Province will today hold elections to choose an interim executive committee that will steer the party forward and instil discipline among members.

Bulawayo Province has been without an executive following the dissolution of structures in 2019 and was operating under the chairmanship of Politburo Member Absalom Sikhosana who died in May.

Addressing party members at Davies Hall in Bulawayo yesterday, the National Political Commissar, Victor Matemadanda, said his visit was to pave way for the electoral process.

“We want to re-introduce a provincial structure but in an interim capacity for Bulawayo and we are convinced this is going to cause better management of the party in the region. We have done the introduction and we are going to look at the curriculum vitae of the elected District Coordinating Committees members. Those interested should indicate the positions that they want to contest for. If it is felt that they can contest then they can go ahead and we declare winners,” he said.

Matemadanda also spoke of the need to instil and maintain discipline in the party. This comes after the suspension of a member of the District Coordinating Committee (DCC) in Bulawayo area five over allegations of misconduct.

“We are saying this party is driven by discipline and if we find that in an area there is misbehaving then we deal with that. The party is dealing with those issues. Even in the Politburo people have been suspended and some have been expelled, the party is emphasising on the need for discipline.

The President has said we must build cadres of the party, it is a course that everyone in the leadership is going to go through so that we understand what it means to be a member of the party or a cadre of the party. Zanu-PF is a party with ethics and regulations.

What we do as Zanu-PF must not tamper with the values of the Unity Accord if you do not understand what it is then consulting with those that are in the know. Any generation of leadership that comes must recognise the Unity Accord.”
