Zanu-PF to demand vaccine certificates

Zanu-PF deputy Masvingo provincial chairperson and Zaka North MP Robson Mavhenyengwa says Covid-19 vaccination certificates will soon be used to access party meetings.

Mavhenyengwa was speaking at the Zanu-PF provincial coordinating committee (PCC) meeting held at Great Zimbabwe University's Julius Nyerere School of Social Sciences recently.

He said the party's leadership was supposed to lead by example and get vaccinated first so that they encourage their subordinates to get vaccinated.

"You as the leadership should be vaccinated so that the people you lead will copy from you," Mavhenyengwa said.

" How can you encourage people to be vaccinated when you are not?

"Soon we will introduce a system where only those who have been vaccinated will be allowed into our meetings.

"You will be asked to produce your vaccination slip here as proof to be admitted into the meetings. If you cannot walk around with the slip you will have to scan it and bring the picture here in your phone."

He warnd party leaders against campaigning for positions saying it was too early.

"We only campaign for the party and the president only," Mavhenyengwa said.

"We still have our PCC, councillors and MPs, those positions have people so there is no need to campaign.

"We will be told when time is rife to start campaigning."

His warning came at a time when a number of people are warming themselves for the PPC positions following the completion of district coordinating committee elections.
