We will never let our guard down - Makamba



Hosia Mviringi


ZANU PF Party has vowed to never let it's guard down in this year's campaign mobilisation program towards the August 23 elections. With only a week to go before the historic general elections, the party has refused to let complacency creep in despite all evidence pointing to a landslide victory.


Despite pulling huge crowds to it's rallies countrywide, the revolutionary party has vowed to continue to pull all stops and redoubling it's mobilisation efforts to attain or surpass it's set target of five million votes for the party's Presidential candidate Cde Emmerson Mnangagwa.


"ZANU PF, as has always been known, as the most organised political party in the country as seen by the momentum registered so far in this election campaign and the promise it brings for a successful poll. The momentum and zeal shown by cadres has progressively shattered attendance records as the President travels across the country on a mobilisation tour."


"We are aware that it is such moments of great confidence and grandeur that usually breed complacency and uncharacteristic relaxation of efforts," said Dr Makamba.


The ZANU PF Deputy Secretary for Transport in the Politburo expressed his eagerness and zeal to continue to pursue all avenues available and to leave no stone unturned to ensure that the party attains an unassailable winning margin in order to silence it's opponents and critics once and for all.


"However despite the present successes, I want to assure the party supporters and the nation at large that ZANU PF will never lay it's guard down. We will never go to sleep until we successfully renew our contract with the people of Zimbabwe on 23 August. We continue to keep focused on the coveted prize of a resounding victory come election day. Our party is leaving nothing to chance in our quest to secure this electoral accomplishment in tandem with our party's vision to never leave anyone and any place behind."


It was Masvingo Provincial Star Rally that set the ball rolling with a record breaking bumper crowd of 124,000 supporters in attendance as if to compete with Chipinge in Manicaland. The never seen crowds indeed got tongues waging as many people were left perplexed by the level of organisational strength on display. But as it later turned out, Masvingo was just but a mere foretaste of yet greater things as proven in Mashonaland East, Mashonaland Central, West, Harare, Matebeleland North and South. Meanwhile the mother of them awaits as Midlands primes the jaggernaught for the one last monster of a rally in Mberengwa on August 19.


With President Mnangagwa featuring as the star attractions to these Provincial rallies, it would indeed be expected that these numbers can only represent a conceivable foretaste of greater things to come on polling day, and indeed President Mnangagwa could most definitely be headed for a crushing victory.


The Party has however continued to deploy it's reliable senior leadership to address separate local rallies to drum up support for the party and it's Presidential candidate Cde Mnangagwa.

The party's campaign is anchored on a strong reputation and track record of delivering on it's promises in the past five years. Infrastructure development as well as a strong economic showing in agriculture, manufacturing, mining as well as the service sectors is testimony to the commitment to deliver an upper middle income economy by 2030.


"ZANU PF as a party cannot afford to rest on it's laurels even in the middle of the overwhelmingly warm reception of the President's messages of hope for the nation and economic development at his countrywide rallies. The economy has performed exceptionally well albeit under difficult conditions characterised by sanctions" said Dr Makamba.


"The party takes this election as seriously as any other in the past and indeed going into the future. This election is a sure fight for the preservation of the country's very heart and soul as the erstwhile enemy has not rested in his quest to install a puppet government in Zimbabwe. As such we can only declare that the fight is on and indeed the struggle continues. Aluta Continua!."


Dr Makamba spoke about the unrelenting attempts by the country’s detractors to sow doscord and divide the party saying that the party remains focused and united.

Dambudzo Marechera: Letter to white ex-girlfriend

  BELOW is a letter written by Dambudzo Marechera to his white ex-girlfriend, Samantha. The letter was written after Marechera had been expelled from Oxford University. Interesting read. Dear Samantha I think by now you have heard what happened when those hypocrites in administration chased me from their white university giving me an option between being sectioned or expelled. I chose the latter, a decision which shocked them out of their warped wits. I have forgiven them because together with you they thought as an African student from some remote Southern African country I was privileged for receiving tertiary education at Oxford, a learning institution they have overrated as a citadel of knowledge just like Cambridge or Harvard. It is such  academic mad houses that  keep on churning out arrogant, snobbish, hypocritical and pea-minded bastards who enter the world with the superior airs of holier-than-thou, we and them attitude calling themselves Doctors, Professors or a...

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...

Zimbabwe currency crisis: Time to face the truth

  Obert Nyandoro THERE is, of course, no such thing as “a shortage of foreign currency”. In open and disciplined markets, all that such a claim reflects is an over-valued local currency, whose managers resist the simple law of supply and demand, at that point in time. As Zimbabwe’s Treasury and its reserve-less Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe implement the new 2024 Q1 monetary policy statement (MPS), they both must be mindful of this truism and their respective mandates. Time is long over-due to accept reality, face the truth, and embrace good governance. The foreign currency denominated debt Zimbabwe defaulted on two decade or so ago, should focus minds. And so should the unacceptable levels of poverty, income and food insecurity, all prevailing in the country. Equally important to bear in mind is the high levels of joblessness and under-employment in the country, the root cause of the poverty. An over-valued and unstable local currency, and the fraudulent “shortage of foreign currency i...
