HARARE - President Emmerson Mnangagwa has bemoaned his party's allegiance to corruption, warning that the levels other comrades have invested in graft is second to none and therefore threatens its repute before general public.
Mnangagwa indirectly expressed his dismay over discrepancies and suspicious looting spree recorded recorded since inception and rolling out of Presidential schemes.
Speaking during his party's politburo address in Harare, Mnangagwa underscored the importance of integrity, discipline, and unity within the ZANU-PF party. He emphasized that corruption and excesses that alienate the party from the people will not be tolerated, and that the party's constitution mandates decisive action against those who tarnish its reputation.
"Corruption of any kind and excesses that alienate us from the people can never be condoned. Integrity, discipline and unity, concern for the people and clean governance must be synonymous with ZANU PF," Mnangagwa warned.
"As provided for in our Party Constitution, we have a duty to boldly and decisively deal with those who put the name of the Party into disrepute. Winning the hearts and minds of our people remains a critical role of every cadre and structure of the Party," Mnangagwa added.
"Discipline and focus, augmented by a correct mindset, and knowledge are some of the vital factors that should help our people's productive enterprises establish, grow and diversify. It is my expectation that, following the launch of the various Empowerment Schemes, the respective Wings of the Party will, at the appropriate time, provide us with comprehensive reports on the success stories," Mnangagwa said.
Meanwhile, President Mnangagwa claimed that it is in the best interest of the Party that successful case studies of women and youth led projects be documented as well as shared across districts and provinces for the purposes of learning and propelling the party forward.
"SeMusangano tinoda kuona maproject eruzhinji rweZimbabwe achibudirira village by village, ward by ward, district by district and province by province. We must never window dress our projects," Mnangagwa appealed.
"Real transformational and evident impacts must be seen on the ground. United at heart, in mind and vision with our people, Vision 2030 is achievable. There is no going back," he added.
Mnangagwa also announced that at the international relations and diplomatic level, his engagements with the Vatican, People's Republic of China and Kingdom of Eswatini, continues to attest our commitment to build bridges for cooperation.
He also emphasised that Zimbabwe stands ready to play its part towards strengthening multi-lateralism, fostering international peace and security, and a just and fair global governance architecture.
There were growing concerns over alleged mismanagement and handling of Presidential Revolving Funds and implements schemes where some members from ZANU-PF demand a 10% commission from beneficiaries.
Some alleged that those involved in the distribution of the implements from national to provincial levels especially those purporting to serve under the banner of "ED" organisations, were fingered in demanding bribes from empowerment schemes beneficiaries and involved in tender processes (including awarding).
Mnangagwa warned against corruption amid growing calls to address these abnormalities which observers believe would further dent party's repute locally, regionally and internationally based on accountability and transparency.
