Zanu PF national commissar Saviour Kasukuwere has stood up speaking
on behalf of the people of Masvingo declaring that the province is behind President Robert Mugabe. He claimed the region is now backing and even rallying behind Mugabe’s leadership.
He was speaking at the end of a ruling party’s. provincial coordinating committee (PCC) meeting at Victoria Junior School here during a visit to assess the state of the party in the province.
Mr Kasukuwere said he was happy with the state of Zanu- PF affairs in Masvingo.
Kasukuwere however emphasised the need for discipline and unity if the ruling party was to maintain its dominance in the province. He said it was crucial for the ruling party’s structures to work in line with the national leadership.
“I have come to meet with the provincial structures of Zanu-PF here to make sure that the party is going in the right direction and I am happy with the state of affairs in Masvingo,’’ he said.
 
“I am
happy that the province is 100 percent behind the leadership of President Mugabe both in Zanu-PF and the country and there is unity within the ruling party in the province.”
Mr Kasukuwere underscored the need for the ruling party to consolidate its political dominance in Masvingo.

‘’We also talked about the issues of discipline, because we want our cadres to remain disciplined and continue to work for the growth of the party in Masvingo”,he added.
He said ousted Zanu-PF provincial chairman Ezra Chadzamira remained suspended until the ruling party made a final determination on his case.
Mr  Chadzamira was suspended by Kasukuwere together with Midlands’ Zanu-PF chair Mr Kizito Chivamba and Mashonaland East chairman Mr Joel Biggie Matiza for alleged disobedience and insolence.
The trio have since appeared before the Zanu-PF national disciplinary committee to answer to the charges and the committee is yet to pass its verdict.
Amasa Nenjana is the acting Zanu-PF Masvingo provincial chairman.
In his address during the meeting, senior Masvingo politburo member Mr Josaya Hungwe, said Zanu-PF was a formidable party in the province riding on the back of a complete whitewash of opposition parties in the 2013 harmonised elections.
Mr Hungwe said the clean sweep of all 26 National Assembly seats was clear testimony that Masvingo was now a “one party state”. He urged aggrieved party members to use the right channels to seek redress.
He said Masvingo was facing severe food shortages with at least every household in need of food assistance.
The meeting was also attended by top Zanu- PF officials in Masvingo among them Provincial Affairs Minister Senator Shuvai Mahofa, Youth League national Secretary Pupurai Togarepi, politburo members, Mr  Lovemore Matuke and Daniel Shumba. – State Media
