ZANU-PF will host another 15th annual national people's conference fundraising dinner in Bulawayo on November 27 and Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko will be the guest of honour.
In an interview, Zanu-PF secretary for finance Obert Mpofu, who is leading the fundraising committee, said Bulawayo has complained that it has not been considered in this initiative.
"We are starting with Harare this Friday (tomorrow) and then on the 27th will be in Bulawayo due to demand. Bulawayo has complained that it has not been considered in this initiative so we are moving there," he said.
Mpofu said all the country's provinces were geared up in preparations for the annual event.
"We are inviting corporates and people from various sectors in the country.
"Government officials, corporates, marketing personnel and community leaders can attend and we have different tables all accommodating 10 people," he said.
The Harare fundraising dinner which will be held tomorrow is expected to raise at least $1 million. Vice President and Zanu-PF second secretary Emmerson Mnangagwa will be the guest of honour.
A platinum table costs $100 000 while gold goes for $50 000.
A silver and bronze table cost $30 000 and $10 000 respectively.
The party's 15th Annual National People's Conference is scheduled for Victoria Falls between December 7 and 13 and at least $3 million is needed to fund the conference.
More than 6 000 delegates are expected to attend the conference which will be officially opened by President Mugabe on December 11.
