By Political Reporter- Zanu PF has ordered 175 brand-new twin and single-cab vehicles to boost its fleet, which already includes over 300 cars.

According to a central committee report from the party’s annual conference in Bulawayo, Zanu PF plans to replace ageing vehicles and expand its fleet.

“The department of transport and social welfare submitted budgets for the acquisition of 175 new motor vehicles to the office of the secretary general for further perusal and action,” the report stated. “This acquisition will complement the current fleet and address outstanding allocations for politburo members, council of elders, party directors, senior officials, and provincial and district coordinating committees.”

Additionally, 54 recently recalled constituency vehicles from 2023 will be reallocated to address provincial and league needs as well as fill by-election gaps.

The party also intends to dispose of 498 older vehicles, including 483 vehicles acquired in 2017–2018 and 15 Isuzu double cabs from 2019.

So far this year, Zanu PF’s transport and social welfare department has taken delivery of 19 new vehicles, including five luxury SUVs, four double cabs, and 10 single cabs, designated for politburo members, the Council of Elders, and the Youth League.
