The ruling ZANU PF party has launched a War Veterans League which will co-exist alongside other party wings like the Main Wing, Youth and Women’s League.
The launch was done at Altena Farm in Muzarabani District, where the first shots of the Second Chimurenga war were fired on December 21, 1972.
The inception of the War Veterans League is in line with the resolutions of the 2019 Zanu PF conference that was held in Goromonzi.
Speaking at the launch, Zanu PF Secretary for War Veterans Affairs Douglas Mahiya said the development is unprecedented. He said:
I want to thank President Emmerson Mnangagwa because something like this had never happened in our party.
