By A Correspondent- Zanu PF leaders in Manicaland have undergone a five-day training on the party’s philosophy conducted by the Herbert Chitepo School of Ideology (HCSI) to help them monitor and interpret critical contemporary issues correctly.

The workshop, held in the Vumba, was attended by leaders from the provincial level right up to the Politburo, including the MPs.

Zanu-PF national chairperson Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri said it was no longer time for sloganeering and insulting each other, but to deliver tangible development resonating with Vision 2030.

“The leadership has to work; to mobilise and work towards fulfilling our promises. We want to see tangible development on the ground, not how good you are at talking and insulting others. We will look at the work you are doing. Have you started any sustainable projects for the people? What have you done to change the lives of the people as a Zanu-PF leader? Zanu-PF leadership should prove beyond doubt that they are developmental,” said Muchinguri-Kashiri.

She warned members against stampeding for positions, arguing that such behaviour would only serve to fuel divisions and confusion in the party.

“We cannot be doing the same things over the past 40 years – we should now embrace a developmental trajectory and deliver tangible results on the ground. It should not be about positions we hold in the party. I am ready to work with those who are willing to ensure that we achieve the President’s vision of becoming a middle income economy by 2030.

“We have lawyers here, go and educate people on their rights, those in health, show the people the importance of going for cancer screening and getting tested for other diseases. You cannot sit on your laurels and wait for the First Lady to educate the women in your constituency on the importance of cervical cancer screening. Be proactive,” Cde Muchinguri-Kashiri said.-ManicaPost
