ZANU PF releases election roadmap


Hosia Mviringi


The ruling ZANU PF party is not leaving anything to chance as the country approaches yet another elections season with by-elections scheduled for March 26, 2022.


This was contained in an election roadmap that the Party's Commissariat department released to the press on January 12, 2022.


"ZANU PF is taking this election seriously and is expecting nothing short of outright victory in both National Assembly and Local Authority by-elections," said National Political Commissar Mike Bimha.


The party notified its members that it will participate fully in the scheduled by-elections set for March 26, 2022 and as such the Party has set up an roadmap to be followed and implemented forthwith in the run-up to and after the nominations on January 26, 2022 up to Election Day on March 26, 2022.


The party has set January 12 - 14 for submission of Curriculum Vitae to Provincial Chairpersons by aspiring candidates for Local government and National Assembly seats by 1600hrs.


The CVs of prospective candidates will be submitted to the Commissariat on January 15, 2022 for consideration by 1100hrs.

Successful candidates will be announced on January 18, 2022 after a thorough vetting exercise which include background checks by the security system.


The party's decisive Primary elections will be held on January 20, 2022 to choose representatives to the crucial by-elections. Only successful candidates who's names would have been announced on the 18th will get a chance to participate in the Primary elections.


ZANU PF conducts strict vetting exercises before any competitive poll to pick the best candidate available who will carry the Party's hopes and aspirations into the elections.

Some of the attributes to be considered include loyalty to the party ideology, principles, national ethos and values and consistency in prior leadership positions.


On January 14, 2022, the Commissariat convenes a major preparatory meeting at it's Party Headquarters in Harare which will get the ball rolling for major election mobilisation activities.


The party has invited all Provincial Chairpersons from the Main Wing, Women's League, Youth League, Provincial Political Commissars, Secretaries for Security and representatives of all affiliates.


The roadmap provides guidelines to both aspiring candidates and general membership and acts as a clarion call to all members to prepare for the upcoming electoral activities in which all members are expected and encouraged to participate fully.


Some of the critical preparatory activities include ensuring that all members are registered as voters in their respective constituencies and that they possess the necessary identity documentation so that they are not turned away in voting day.

After 23 years, UK-ZIM relations thawing

 #SundayMussings  Prof. Jonathan Moyo It's International Relations 101 that a penchant for and infatuation with trivialities is not part of diplomacy, it's trivial pursuit. With this in mind, one does not have to hold a brief for anyone to understand that the coronation of King Charles III was essentially a showcase of an archaic and obnoxious tradition of hereditary rule - frowned upon in most parts of the world now under republican rule of one sort or another, while still a big deal in the United Kingdom of once upon a time, Great Britain - that dates back some 1,000 years ago. There’s therefore nothing geopolitically significant or even interesting about that primitive culture, where someone called Charles was crowned head of state by virtue of his birth at a ceremony where "His Majesty's Government" had no qualms about displaying the full repertoire of imperial loot like the stolen African Star and majestic gold from former British colonies, many of whose lead...

In defence of Lindiwe Sisulu - SA Constitution not Sacred, Judges not demi-gods

            Professor Arthur Mutambara The SA Constitution is not Sacred and SA Judges are not Demigods.   By Arthur Guseni Oliver Mutambara 13 January 2022   Minister Lindiwe Sisulu penned an opinion piece on 7 January 2022 titled: ‘Hi Mzansi, have we seen justice?’  It was quite a refreshing critique of the challenges confronting South Africa.  Sisulu’s right to express herself and the content of her remarks must be vigorously defended without equivocation or ambiguity. On 8 January 2022, soon after I read the opinion piece, I publicly expressed the following remarks: ‘Wow, what a piece by Lindiwe Sisulu. I am pleasantly surprised that some in the ANC still get it and are prepared to articulate it eloquently. The issue is how to get such incisive thinking to influence the ANC and the country's direction. Is it a lost cause?’ I stand by these utterances. There has been quite several articles and remarks attacking Minister Sisulu. The ba...

LAWYERS DEMO : DELIVERY OF JUSTICE OR PROTECTING THE CASH COW ?   By Hosia Mviringi 31 January 2019 On 29 January 2019 the nation woke up to the news that Lawyers under the banner of the Law Society of Zimbabwe was demonstrating against lack of or misdelivery of justice in the Courts in Zimbabwe. I write this article with a heavy heart knowing that my brother is a loyal member of the fraternity.I will try to be professional and speak my mind. What baffles the mind is the fact that the Lawyers are officers of the same Courts which they have served under the Law Society of Zimbabwe in defence of the accused for many years since independence.They have not seen this so called misdelivery of justice until only yesterday after the violent demonstration of the 14th of January 2019. What has changed now to warrant the demonstration by the Lawyers against the same Courts to which they have served or are serving as officers and partners ? Lets try to unpack the conundrum. Soon...
