We are not a party about positions; we are about progress, prosperity, unity, peace, and development for all people of Zimbabwe, no matter where they live or their social standing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUplifting the lives of Zimbabweans forms one of the fundamental reasons for the party leadership existence,\u201d Mnangagwa said.<\/p>\n<p>He said Zimbabwe is about production, hence economic activities should take precedence over politics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe received a fresh mandate from the electorate during the 2023 harmonised general elections and I challenge us to introspect, as the party leadership, and remain focused towards accelerating the national development agenda,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Zanu PF leader reminded Politburo members that countrymen struggled for 24 years of illegal sanctions so there was no luxury to be preoccupied by trivialities, both internal and external as a party and the country at large.<\/p>\n<p>The country\u2019s leader urged leaders and the structures of the Zanu PF party to be equal to the development task.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must maintain the requisite discipline, loyalty, and focus not only on defending our independence, freedom, and empowerment but also on improving the quality of life of every Zimbabwean.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur party should re-calibrate its revolutionary, ideological, and moral compass. Party members and particularly, officials and those in leadership must unflinchingly uphold the correct party line, at all times, both in public and private.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mnangagwa called for patriotism, unity, and hard honest work saying these should continue to be entrenched across the rank and file of the Zanu Pf party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot slacken on this regard,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
