ZANU PF CONFERENCE: President Mnangagwa Eyes Economic Boost for Zimbabwe
By Enia Dube
President Mnangagwa has high hopes for the upcoming ZANU PF people’s Conference in Bulawayo, anticipating that it will refine stakeholders’ perspectives on promoting Zimbabwean brands, overcoming logistical challenges, and securing trade finance solutions for exporters.
The conference, themed “Industrialise, modernise towards Vision 2030,” will bring together approximately 4,231 delegates from various provinces, including diplomats, Diaspora district delegates, chiefs, service chiefs, government ministers, and officials. Extensive preparations are underway, with accreditation currently ongoing in different provinces.
This pivotal event provides a platform for the party to engage with its grassroots, understand the challenges faced by the people, and chart a course for the future. Key objectives include promoting country brands to enhance Zimbabwe’s international reputation and attract investment, tackling logistical hurdles to streamline production processes and improve economic efficiency, and securing trade finance solutions to stimulate economic growth.
ZANU PF Secretary-General Dr. Obert Mpofu confirmed that all necessary arrangements are in place, including catering and transportation, ensuring a seamless experience for delegates.
President Mnangagwa emphasized the importance of economic development, urging party members to prioritize retooling local industry to attract investors and bolster economic activity. He also stressed the need to improve livelihoods, as outlined in the 2018 People’s Manifesto.
By addressing these critical areas, the conference aims to propel Zimbabwe toward achieving its vision of becoming an upper-middle-income economy by 2030. This vision aligns with the government’s efforts to transform the country into a prosperous and economically independent nation.
The conference is a significant opportunity for Bulawayo province to showcase its vibrancy and organizational prowess, demonstrating its capacity to host high-profile events.
As Zimbabwe continues on its path to economic recovery, the ZANU PF conference serves as a crucial milestone, fostering unity, growth, and development among party members and the nation at large.

President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa on Monday called on Zimbabweans to “guard our sovereignty” and “build a modern, industrialised nation” as he led the 45th National Heroes Day commemorations at the National Heroes Acre.
“It is my singular honour and privilege to address this 45th Commemoration of our National Heroes Day, an event our nation holds annually in tribute to gallant sons and daughters of the soil, who paid the supreme sacrifice for the liberation of our country,” President Mnangagwa said.
The President urged the nation to carry the baton from fallen fighters into the economic struggle.
“Independence in 1980 brought about political independence, while the struggle for the economy remains ongoing,” he said.
“We are masters of our own destiny… neo-colonialism will never be given a foothold in our nation.”
Mnangagwa highlighted economic gains under the Second Republic, saying:
“Our GDP has risen from US$16 billion in 2018 to US$45.7 billion today. The projected 2025 growth of 6% is well within reach.”
Citing agricultural successes, President Mnangagwa praised farmers:
“Our heroes would definitely be proud of the positive strides which our farmers are making. Tinokutendai varimi… nekuchengetedza nhaka yedu yakarwirwa nemagamba edu.”
President also stressed infrastructure progress, including the Harare-Masvingo-Beitbridge Highway and major rural road upgrades, and called for community responsibility:
“Nyika inovakwa, inotongwa, inonamatigwa nevene vayo… ilizwe lakhiwa, libuswe, likhuleke ngabanikazi balo.”
On the global stage, Mnangagwa affirmed Zimbabwe’s sovereignty:
“Let no-one think that they can engage us as masters. We are a sovereign and independent people.”
The President concluded with a rallying cry:
“The spirit and flame of the revolution… should galvanise us, the united people of Zimbabwe, from Limpopo to Zambezi, from Plumtree to Mutare, towards realising more and more unprecedented milestones. Forward ever, backward never. Success and prosperity are certain.”
President Emmerson Mnangagwa has arrived in Chimoio, Mozambique, for the handover of a consignment of relief items to communities affected by Cyclone Chido.
The donation, sent under the name “ZimAid”, will be handed over to his counterpart, Mozambican President Daniel Chapo.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces and Chancellor of the Zimbabwe National Defence University (ZNDU), President Emmerson Mnangagwa, is presiding over the institution’s sixth graduation ceremony at Rodgers Alfred Nikita Mangena Barracks in Mazowe.
