Mnangagwa hails diversity of skills within Zanu-PF

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has applauded the growing diversity of skills and competencies within Zanu-PF party structures, saying this would boost the party's ability to achieve its developmental goals and help Zimbabwe attain upper middle-income status by 2030.

Addressing the 383rd Session of the Zanu-PF Politburo in Harare on Tuesday morning, Mnangagwa, who is also the party's First Secretary, said the evolving composition of the party - from grassroots to national level - was positioning Zanu-PF to be more responsive to the needs of communities.

"I expect the dynamic and diverse skills, as well as competencies emerging from the composition of our membership to enable cells, branches, districts and provinces to be better equipped and more responsive to the needs of communities," said Mnangagwa.

"This must ultimately accelerate the realisation of our party objectives and Vision 2030."

The President called for inclusivity within the party, urging women, youths, and professionals from all socio-economic backgrounds to actively participate and feel represented within Zanu-PF.

"Zanu-PF is a people's party. We embrace all and represent everyone—we are leaving no one and no place behind," he said.

Mnangagwa also challenged party members to remain united and focused on advancing the interests of both the nation and the party.

"United and focused as one people with one common vision, let us consistently and persistently advance the interests of our nation and party," he said.

The Politburo is expected to deliberate on several key national and party-related matters during the ongoing session.
