Zanu-PF Members of Parliament and councillors have been urged to do all they can to fulfil the promises they made to the people during their election campaigns.
Speaking at farm 263 in Musengezi ward 18 under his Chegutu East constituency, Zanu-PF Secretary for the Commissariat Webster Shamu said the fulfilment of the promises would help the party resoundingly win the next elections in 2018.
Shamu, who is also the Information and Communication Technology and Postal and Courier Services Minister, was speaking after donating a bull to Mr David Mafoti who lost 14 cattle to lightning in March 2011.
"All winning Zanu-PF MPs, councillors and senators must not ignore promises they made during the campaign period, but should now deliver and fulfil them so that Zanu-PF maintains its stance of caring for the people's livelihoods," he said.
Shamu said this was the proper time for the party to begin its campaigns for the 2018 harmonised elections to ensure a 100 percent victory for Zanu-PF.
"This time we must deal with MDC-T once and for all so that they will not resurrect and for us to achieve that goal we need to start campaigning now," he said.
Shamu urged farmers to work hard by producing bumper harvests in order to weaken the effects of the illegal economic sanctions on the country.
"We must work hard so that we become self sufficient and shun the habit of waiting for donors and NGOs to assist us with food," he said.
Minister Shamu said Zanu-PF programmes were not for elections, but were derived from the armed struggle and were there to stay in making sure that the people become masters of their land.
"The programmes are there to save the black majority by empowering them so that we become masters of our own land and this is what we fought for in the armed struggle," he said.
Shamu said since ICT was the fourth pillar of the economy, he would ensure that Government, through his ministry, introduced e-farming to enhance food security.
Speaking at same occasion Carswell Meats general manager Mr Carl Carinus said he once lost 16 cattle to lightning and knew how it felt loosing such a herd.
"I agreed to give Minister Shamu this bull after he told me about Mr Mafoti's incident because I know how much it hurts losing such a herd as I once lost 16 cattle to lightning," he said.
