By Enia Dube
President Dr. E. D. Mnangagwa, First Secretary of ZANU-PF, chaired the 372nd Politburo meeting, setting the stage for the party’s highly anticipated Annual National People’s Conference. This year’s event, themed “Towards Vision 2030, “through Industrialisation and Modernization,” promises to promote unity and growth within the party’s ranks.
The conference runs from today October 22 to 27 in Bulawayo, and brings together delegates from the 10 provinces. This significant gathering provides a unique opportunity for the host province to showcase its vibrancy and organizational prowess. Bulawayo’s selection as the host city underscores the party’s commitment to decentralization and regional development.
During the Politburo meeting, President Mnangagwa emphasized the importance of staying focused on the party’s goals, urging members to resist foreign agendas. He congratulated the outgoing campaign teams from all provinces on their hard work and encouraged the party to prepare for upcoming by-elections, expressing confidence in a resounding victory.
President Mnangagwa also stressed the need for early distribution of inputs to farmers, crucial for meeting targets and avoiding losses during the upcoming summer cropping season. He reiterated his commitment to developing the country, leaving no one and no place behind, and called for the unconditional removal of sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe.
The Annual National People’s Conference serves as a platform for discussing key issues, formulating strategies, and reinforcing the party’s commitment to national development. Delegates will engage in various sessions focused on economic development, industrialization, and modernization. These discussions will center on Zimbabwe’s economic growth, trade, and investment opportunities.
The conference will address agriculture and food security, with strategies for improving productivity and ensuring food security taking center stage. The party recognizes the critical role agriculture plays in Zimbabwe’s economy and is committed to supporting farmers and promoting self-sufficiency.
Youth empowerment will also feature prominently at the conference, with sessions dedicated to promoting youth participation and development within the party. ZANU-PF acknowledges the importance of empowering young Zimbabweans and fostering their involvement in the country’s development.
As ZANU-PF gears up for this significant event, all eyes are on the party’s plans for the future and its efforts to drive economic growth and development in Zimbabwe. The conference promises to be a pivotal moment in Zimbabwe’s political landscape, charting the course for the country’s progress toward Vision 2030.

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.
