Mr Bokani Vundla is not new in the information and publicity business; for the past four years he has been a leading light in the department of information and publicity working under the out-going Secretary of information.

Today Mr Vundla launched his manifesto detailing his vision and aspirations for turning ZAPU into a party of choice in Zimbabwe "My vision is to help create a positive image for ZAPU by highlighting the party's key policies, local activism and able party leadership and will also help restore ZAPU's role as a national, pan-African and international player" Mr Vundla shared his vision.

ZAPU Europe is going to its elective AGM this Friday on the 30th as a resurgent and vibrant party.

Mr Vundla has been pivotal in the success of the ZAPU Europe province as an unelected party member who has been in a number of technical committees including chairing the Information subcommittee and the Diaspora Elections Support Network (DESN). "Our highlight in DESN was galvanising support for the Bulawayo by-elections which created the much needed publicity and visibility for the party" Mr Vundla said

"If elected as Secretary for Information, Publicity and Marketing on the 30th I will further strengthen the solid foundation laid by the outgoing secretary and I will reboot the current subcommittees under this portfolio by bringing in fresh players and new ideas" Mr Vundla explained

In a question and answer session with ZAPU officials and members, Mr Vundla was asked by the out-going Youth Front chair Cde  Arnold Dube, who is now moving to the main Party wing and is also contesting for the position of Secretary for Policy and strategy, put it to Mr Vundla as follows "Cde Vundla how aggressive do think you and your team need to be, seeing that effort equals outcomes?"

Mr Vundla retorted as follows "If I am elected, I guarantee appropriate aggression by surrounding myself with the right people, assertive and cool headed while being radical. I believe in the two theory i.e. a revolution within a revolution: first we need to change the party while simultaneously trying to change the country Mr Dube"

For the very first time since its revival ZAPU will have a strong, knowledgeable and brave personality in its information department and surely this will help set ZAPU apart from its competitors.
