ZANU PF Mashonaland East Provincial Chairperson, Cde Daniel Garwe, has implored Zimbabweans to set aside political differences and unite under a shared vision of national development.

Speaking during a recent tour of Mrewa North Constituency, Honorable Garwe who also serves as the Minister of Local Government and Public Works said that the country’s primary focus should remain on infrastructure and economic growth rather than perpetual political contestation.

The tour was aimed at assessing ongoing projects in the district and engaging with local communities on their developmental needs. Hon. Garwe’s message was clear, the time for campaigning has passed and the time for labor has arrived.

“We must be a nation that is united for development.

“Let us focus on building our country because we are not in an election season,” he said.

Addressing various stakeholders and community members, Hon.Garwe said that the Second Republic’s “Vision 2030” can only be achieved if the citizenry works in harmony.

He added that the government is currently preoccupied with closing the infrastructure gap through projects such as dam construction, road rehabilitation and the development of smart cities.

Hon Garwe dismissed any rhetoric focused on early electioneering, reminding the public that the mandate for the current administration was established in the previous general elections.

“There is a time for politics and a time for work. Right now, our hands should be on the tools. We are not in an election season, so let us focus on the development that improves the lives of our people,” he added.

Provincial Progress

During his visit to Mrewa North, the Chairman praised the local leadership for their commitment to government-led programs.

He urged the province to lead by example in maintaining peace and stability, which he described as the “bedrock of progress.”

The visit is part of a broader provincial outreach program by the ZANU PF Mashonaland East leadership to ensure that developmental targets are met at the grassroots level. Garwe concluded by reiterating that the door is open for all Zimbabweans to contribute to the nation’s growth, regardless of their background.
