President Robert Mugabe has revealed that his Zanu PF party is losing popularity at an alarming rate.
Membership subscriptions dropped by a massive 73 % in just one year.
"Data on the distribution of membership data forms is disappointing for all provinces and districts except Matabeleland South. We need to interrogate this data and make appropriate decisions," wrote Mugabe in the current Zanu PF central committee report distributed during last week's annual conference.
During the Masvingo gathering, the 92 year old Mugabe was endorsed by all Zanu PF party structures to be the 2018 presidential candidate.
The endorsement was met with
resounding applause from thousands of supporters attending the annual
conference, chanting in Shona language "tongai, tongai baba" meaning
"rule, rule father".
Mugabe has been in power since independence from British colonial rule in 1980.
He has avoided naming a successor or laying out plans to retire.
He once joked that he would rule until he turned 100.
