ED2030 sloganeering resurfaces, as ZANU-PF recruits more spies
8 hrs ago | Views
The Mavetera-led Women for Economic Development (Women4ED), a ZANU-PF affiliate faction aligned to President Emmerson Mnangagwa remained defiant in pushing for his long stay in power, while the party also intensified recruitment of more spies masquerading as accredited journalists during national events.
An observation by Bulawayo24News during the burial of late comrade Tinaye Elisha Nzirasha Chigudu witnessed the grouping singing and reciting songs signaling full support for Mnangagwa to unconstitutionally further extend his rule beyond maximum limit.
Donning in their organisation's national colour (pink), the 'Pinky Girls' denounced any possibility of succession within the party.
"Chekutanga tarira pananiko, heh pana Baba Mnangagwa. Chechipiri tarira pananiko heh pana Chiwenga, chimbotongayi makadaro, tongayi makadaro (Mnangagwa is still at the helm, Chiwenga is second in command and nothing should change, just lead/rule us as it is," they recited then Mbare Chimurenga choir song.
"2030 muri chocolate, 2030 Baba muri chocolate. Tongayi Shumba muri chocolate, tongayi Shumba Baba muri chocolate (Until 2030, you will still be chocolate, lead us till 2030," they sing while referring Mnangagwa to sweet chocolate.
ZANU-PF has for long used music as a means to communicate with masses, evoke memories and stimulant tools for effecting successional war dominance.
Meanwhile, the burial witnessed several ladies and gentlemen doning in khaki sleeveless jacket inscribed with ZANU-PF logo with a motto, ED PFEE, roaming and mingling around the media section with smartphones and small tablet phones.
During the burial of then late national heroes when Mnangagwa was on annual leave, no one was seen chanting 2030 slogans when most feared ZANU-PF number two, Constantino Chiwenga presided. Today's burial, which is the first for Mnangagwa to preside from his annual leave witness more 2030ists sloganeering from the bays.
In a post circulated over the weekend in one of ZANU-PF social media grouping, the party's foot soldiers announced its recruitment drive for cyber-team commissars who will also act as digital spies.
"ZANU PF DCC 6 NOTICE TO ALL DISTRICTS (RECRUITMENT OF DIGITAL AMBASSADORS). All District Chairpersons to make sure that lists of names for members with a minimum qualification of a Bachelor's Degree in ICT, who will be employed as Digital Ambassadors be compiled and submitted to DCC 6 Office on Sunday 9 February 2025, at 2 pm," the post reads.
