Zanu PF has introduced a new slogan, "NaVaMnangagwa Todya Mudododo", as a rallying message linked to the party's economic development agenda.
The slogan was unveiled by Zanu PF Masvingo provincial vice-chairperson Trust Mugabe at Marongere Primary School in Zimuto during a handover ceremony of cement for school development. The event and the slogan's introduction were reported by Midweek Watch.
Mugabe led the gathering in chanting the new slogan before explaining that it was intended to reflect what he described as the economic transformation agenda of the Second Republic under President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
The phrase is drawn from "Todya Mudododo", a popular sungura song by musician Taruvinga Manjokoto, popularly known as Sugar Sugar. The song has recently gained widespread attention in Zimbabwe.
The new political chant combines the song's phrase with existing Zanu PF slogans, including references to Mnangagwa and the party's 2030 development agenda.
"Pamberi ne ZANU-PF! Pamberi naVaMnangagwa! NaVaMnangagwa Todya Mudododo! 2030 VaMnangagwa Vanenge Vachipo!" the gathering chanted, according to Midweek Watch.
Youth and Women's League members joined in the chant alongside the party's established "ED 2030" slogans.
Explaining the meaning attached to the new slogan, Mugabe linked it to food security programmes such as Pfumvudza/Intwasa, infrastructure projects including Tugwi-Mukosi Dam, road development, mining, economic stability and empowerment.
"When we say ‘NaVaMnangagwa Todya Mudododo', we are talking about food security through Pfumvudza/Intwasa, we are talking about dams like Tugwi-Mukosi, we are talking about roads, mining, economic stability and empowerment. It is a slogan of prosperity," Mugabe said.
The adoption of the phrase comes as "Todya Mudododo" has become increasingly prominent in Zimbabwean popular culture. Sugar Sugar, whose real name is Taruvinga Manjokota, has received attention for the song, including a Toyota Fortuner and US$10 000 in fuel money from businessman Wicknell Chivayo after the businessman said the song had become popular with his family.
The new slogan now adds a political dimension to a phrase that originated in the sungura music scene.
