President Emmerson Mnangagwa has called for unity, discipline, and strict implementation of party resolutions as Zimbabwe prepares for its 46th Independence Day celebrations, warning party leaders against complacency.

Addressing at ZANU PF Politburo meeting, President Mnangagwa said the upcoming national event will be held in Matabeleland South Province under the theme “Zimbabwe at 46: Unity and Development Towards Vision 2030.”

“This session comes ahead of our forthcoming Independence Day commemorations unity of peoples remains the sound foundation of our socio-economic development.

Party members remain focused on achieving Vision 2030, unity, inclusivity, and devolution are central to the Second Republic’s development agenda,” he said.

President Mnangagwa commended ongoing internal programmes aimed at modernising the ruling party but warned that structures must function efficiently and in line with the party constitution.

“Let us safeguard the fundamental principle of party supremacy in relation to government, standing committees must meet regularly and submit policy recommendations to strengthen decision-making,” President Mnangagwa said.

On the economy, the President said government policies were delivering results, particularly in agriculture, where the country is expecting another strong harvest.

“Government policies have continued to bear tangible result the country is now expected to record another high and successful harvest,” he said.

He added that reforms to review licences, permits, levies, and fees in key agricultural sectors are part of efforts to improve the ease of doing business.

Mnangagwa said growth was also being recorded in tourism, manufacturing, and construction, supported by performance-based contracts introduced in the public sector to improve accountability and efficiency.

“My administration remains determined to guarantee public institutions that deliver measurable results,” he said.

He further highlighted the role of technology, including artificial intelligence, in driving economic transformation, saying the recently launched national strategy will underpin Zimbabwe’s development path.

In the health sector, Mnangagwa stated that government is working to expand access to quality and affordable services, including the rehabilitation of health institutions and mobilisation of resources for key facilities.

On foreign policy, he said Zimbabwe continues to prioritise diplomacy and dialogue in addressing global conflicts, while also pursuing its bid for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council for 2027–2028.

The President also pointed efforts to strengthen economic resilience through local production, value addition, and support for domestic industries, alongside public-private partnerships.

President Mnangagwa issued a firm directive to party leaders to deliver results.

“I challenge us to remain focused, committed, and result-oriented in all that we do, our national interests and the quest to improve the quality of life of our people must remain our key motivation. There must be no vacillation,” he said.
