Mugabe acknowledges Zanu-PF factionalism
The President and First Secretary of Zanu-PF, Robert Mubabe has castigated divisions and rivalry caused by some party members who are jostling for senior positions in the party hierarchy.
President Mugabe addressed the 15th National People's Conference Central Committee meeting at the party headquarters in Harare this Wednesday.
He told the Central Committee members that there is no need to back bite each other or assassinate one another's character but instead help maintain unity in the party.
Even though the elections are in 2018, some individuals in the party are already buying votes and using unorthodox means to win people in preparation for taking over high positions, President Mugabe noted.
"Some party leaders are planting falsehoods in the media in a ploy to tarnish others' characters, and this is putting dirt in the party," said Mugabe.
On the votes of no confidence and suspensions, Mugabe noted that due processes should be followed before individuals are dismissed or suspended.
"Provincial chairpersons must respect members appointed in the provinces," he added.
Mugabe urged farmers to make maximum use of the little rains expected this year, saying drought is imminent.
Those with access to dams and irrigation schemes should allow others to use the water and help avert hunger in the face of the imminent drought, he added.
President Mugabe began his address by paying tribute to the Women's League and the Commissariat, arms of the party that have kept in touch with the masses through mobilisation.
Meanwhile, war veterans have paid homage to their patron, President Mugabe for denouncing greed driven votes of no confidence.
One of the war veterans, Joseph Chinotimba said the association has been infiltrated by some divisive elements who are bent on furthering their personal agenda.
He was speaking on the sidelines of the Central Committee meeting held at the party headquarters in Harare this Wednesday.
