ZANU-PF has unanimously endorsed Robert Mugabe as its presidential candidate for the harmonised elections set for next year.
In resolutions passed at the end of its 11th National People's Conference in Mutare yesterday, the party said the polls should be held next year without fail.
Delegates to the conference also resolved that any person who calls for sanctions against the country should be charged with treason.
" . . . directs the party to call upon the Government to enforce the law of treason against any individual, corporate body or entity which calls for the imposition and or maintenance of sanctions or any other
measures harmful, injurious and or deleterious to the welfare of the people of Zimbabwe," said the party.
The party resolved that foreign envoys who promote the West's regime change agenda and interfere in the internal affairs of Zimbabwe be expelled.
It said Government should also take counter- measures against foreign companies, institutions and entities whose home countries continue to impose and maintain illegal sanctions against Zimbabwe.
Delegates resolved that the Government should improve conditions of employment in the civil service and urged the private sector to follow suit.
The new constitution, Zanu-PF resolved, should not reverse the land reform programme. Furthermore, the party resolved that land illegally sub-leased to former commercial farmers or their entities should be
repossessed and redistributed.
Another key resolution was the deregistration of non-governmental organisations that act as conduits of regime change.
The delegates also resolved that the party should hold early, democratic, transparent and credible primary elections in the spirit of its founding principles.
They also resolved against the imposition of candidates and advocated the acceleration and expansion of indigenisation and economic empowerment programmes.
They said the Government should only recognise foreign investment that is mutually beneficial.
On media, the delegates condemned the continued broadcasts of pirate radio stations, the peddling of falsehoods and divisive messages through hostile media.
The delegates implored Government to provide the Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe with adequate resources to enable it to execute its mandate, including licensing community radio stations.
They also said the party and Government should prioritise upgrading schools, health facilities, the provision of water and sanitation and other infrastructure.
They called on the Government to avail antiretroviral drugs at affordable prices.
On women, the party called for the achievement of women's quest to achieve equal representation in all decision-making processes.
It was also resolved that women should be given the opportunity to participate in all sectors of the economy, especially agriculture and mining.
The delegates resolved that all party members should educate the youth on its ideology and mobilise them to participate in party activities.
The national youth programme curriculum, the delegates resolved, should be enhanced.
The indigenisation and economic empowerment programme should incorporate youths
