Zimbabwe declared a 'Zanu-PF territory'

ZANU-PF has declared Zimbabwe "a Zanu-PF territory", insisting that come 2018, the party would reclaim all the seats from the opposition MDC-T.

This followed the Wednesday by-election victory that saw the party taking all 16 contested seats.

The elections have been described by the main opposition parties as a sham and a victory for MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai's calls for supporters to boycott.

Zanu-PF national commissar Saviour Kasukuwere said the focus was now on development and ensuring the promises from the party were fulfilled.

"Zimbabwe is a Zanu-PF territory and this victory was certain. Our focus now is to take all the seats which are in the wrong hands in 2018. Our focus is now to develop the country and work on the economy for the good of the people," Kasukuwere said.
