President Robert Mugabe says it is worrying that there are some in the inclusive government who no longer want to alight from this 'chariot' despite the expiry of the Global Political Agreement (GPA), but warned that it is now time for elections.
"The GPA is not a legitimate or democratic entity because some people in the inclusive government were completely rejected by the electorate in the 2008 elections. So we cannot allow this to continue and we are saying it is time we go for elections next year," Cde Mugabe said.
The President concluded by expressing confidence that his party's 'progressive ideas' and 'better policies' are the only tools that will make Zanu PF win the elections.
When officially opening the party's 12th Annual National People's Conference at the ZITF grounds in Bulawayo on Thursday Mugabe said the liberation struggle was meant to liberate the people of Zimbabwe.
"It is not only land that we want but also control over our mineral resources. Now that we have taken the land, we are also advancing into mining and manufacturing sectors which are dominated by multi-national companies like Rio Tinto and LONRHO, among others," said Cde Mugabe.
Mugabe also said it was high time the people of Zimbabwe fought for economic liberation through embracing the indigenisation and economic empowerment policy.
He added that even in the face of hostilities against the nation by western powers, Zimbabwe will not go back on the cause.
