By A Correspondent- The Zanu-PF 18th Annual People’s conference to be held at Goromonzi High School, Mashonaland East next week is expected to address bread and butter issues in line with Vision 2030.
The party’s national chairperson Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri said the main thrust of discussions at the conference will centre on the state of the economy, with mining being a pivotal industry in this regard and food security as it relates to the modernisation and mechanisation of agriculture.
The conference will be held from the 10th-15th of December under the theme “Modernise, Mechanise and Grow the Economy towards Vision 2030”.
More than 7 000 delegates are expected to grace the annual indaba with 2 000 foreign delegates confirming their participation.
Speaking soon after assessing progress at the conference venue, Muchinguri-Kashiri said preparations for the annual conference are almost complete.
“We are very happy that all the tents are ready and accommodation for all delegates is available. The conference is an opportunity to discuss the programmes which Government has been undertaking as a follow up to our manifesto.
“The conference is also a platform where the President outlines our success stories. He will tell our story as Zanu-PF and the progress we have made since we were voted into power last year.”
She added: “The President will talk on engagement and re-engagement programmes that he has undertaken since he was voted into power. He will also send out a message to unite the people of Zimbabwe.”
In addition, Muchinguri-Kashiri said it is important for people to realise that elections come and go.
“We are no longer in the elections mood so the President will highlight the need to move together as one people so that together we pull all our energies towards developing this country.
“United we stand and divided we fall. So we hope that during the three days we are going to be here, we will be sending out strong messages that Zanu-PF remains very strong and stays resolute around the President’s agenda of moving forward,” she added.
