Zanu PF acting spokesperson Mike Bimha also confirmed the development saying the development was also meant  to reduce the number of delegates attending the national conference at all the provincial virtual centres.

"It also endorsed the need to follow the Covid-19 regulations and protocols. This implies that all delegates at each provincial centre must have been vaccinated and tested. They must be able to observe social distancing," said Bimha.
