President Mnangagwa Urges Zanu PF Members to Prioritize Citizens’ Welfare
President Emmerson Mnangagwa has called on members of the Zanu PF party to recommit themselves to diligently working for the betterment of ordinary Zimbabweans.
Speaking as the party’s First Secretary during the closing of the 22nd National People’s Conference held in Mutare, Manicaland, over the weekend, Mnangagwa emphasized the importance of staying connected to the people and addressing their needs.
“We must renew our commitment to serving Zimbabwe and its people with sincerity. Let’s walk with them in both triumph and hardship. The wellbeing of our citizens and the advancement of the nation must remain at the forefront of our mission,” he said.
The President also reaffirmed the strength and vitality of the ruling party, saying, “Zanu PF is strong and vibrant. It stands as the tried and tested guardian of our revolution, dedicated to improving the lives of our people. We are moving forward—there’s no turning back.”
His sentiments echoed those of Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, who has consistently advocated for fair distribution of national resources to benefit the wider population rather than a select few.
President Mnangagwa urged all levels of the party to develop clear plans and measurable goals to drive economic development ahead of the next conference and beyond.
As the country moves into the next phase of its National Development Strategy (NDS2), he stressed the need for greater cooperation among government ministries, departments, and agencies, emphasizing a unified approach involving all sectors of society.
“The party will maintain its leadership role across all areas of the economy,” he noted, while praising the delegates for their disciplined and thoughtful contributions during the conference.
He described Zanu PF as a mature, democratic, and well-organized political force that continues to uphold the vision and legacy of its founding leaders.
“Zanu PF has shown itself to be a revolutionary mass movement that is evolving and positioning itself to ensure Zimbabweans remain in control of their own future,” said Mnangagwa.
The President also commended the conference for its meaningful and forward-thinking dialogue, which reflected the aspirations of grassroots communities and provided a clear direction for future action.
He highlighted the importance of adhering to the party’s constitution, urging every member to respect the established hierarchy and decisions made by central organs such as the Central Committee, National People’s Conference, and ultimately the National People’s Congress.
“Everyone in the party must follow the constitutional order—from the grassroots up to the highest levels,” he asserted.
In a pointed message, Mnangagwa warned against attempts to interfere with the party’s direction, whether from within or outside Zanu PF.
“We chart our own course. Let us focus on the responsibilities we have been entrusted with by the party,” he said, concluding with a call for unity and loyalty to the party’s core values.
The Government has strongly condemned the unlawful subdivision and sale of land at North Umzari Farm in Makonde District, Chinhoyi, saying the transactions are in breach of the country’s spatial planning and urban development regulations.
According to Minister of Local Government and Public Works Hon Daniel Garwe, authorities never granted approval or issued compliance certificates for the creation and sale of residential stands on the farm.
“The layout plans circulating in connection with the land sales are “fake, fraudulent and legally void,” he said.
The minister urged members of the public to exercise caution when purchasing land in the area, warning that buyers involved in illegal land transactions risk losing their money because Government will not compensate victims.
“Any structures erected without properly approved plans may be demolished, stressing that Government is determined to eliminate disorderly settlements and ensure organised urban growth in line with Zimbabwe’s Vision 2030 agenda,” he concluded.
NetOne has officially launched a new base station in Matjinge, Bulilima District, in Matabeleland South Province as part of efforts to improve network coverage and connectivity in rural communities.
The new base station is expected to provide better mobile communication services to residents in Matjinge and surrounding areas, helping communities access reliable voice and internet services.
The development forms part of NetOne’s ongoing programme to bridge the digital divide by expanding telecommunications infrastructure to underserved areas across the country.
Improved connectivity will help support communication, business activities, education and access to digital services within the district.
The launch of the base station also reflects Zimbabwe’s broader push toward digital inclusion and increased access to modern technology in rural communities.
The 2026 Girls in ICT programme has officially started at National University of Science and Technology under the theme, “AI Development – Girls Shaping the Digital Future.”
The event brings together young girls from different schools and communities to encourage participation in information and communication technology, innovation and digital transformation.
Speaking during the launch, ICT Minister Tatenda Mavetera said empowering girls in technology is important for building a smarter and more inclusive digital future for Zimbabwe.
“Empowering girls today means shaping a smarter, more inclusive digital future for Zimbabwe,” she said.
Minister Mavetera encouraged girls to take advantage of opportunities in the technology sector and actively participate in artificial intelligence and other digital innovations.
The programme aims to inspire more young women to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) while helping close the gender gap in the ICT industry.
The Girls in ICT initiative is part of ongoing efforts to promote digital inclusion and equip young people with skills needed for the country’s growing digital economy.
