THE ZANU PF Politburo yesterday resolved to indefinitely postpone the party’s 19th Annual People’s Conference that was scheduled for Mashonaland Central Province in December to mitigate the spread of Covid-19.<\/p>\n
Briefing the media after the 345th Session of the Politburo, Zanu PF acting secretary for Information and Publicity Cde Patrick Chinamasa said the conference had been postponed indefinitely to allow the Government, the party and people to contain the pandemic without undue disturbances.<\/p>\n
Cde Chinamasa said the Politburo received a report from the Conference Coordinating Committee chaired by the party’s national chairperson Cde Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri on the state of preparedness of the party to hold the National People’s Conference.<\/p>\n
“However in line with Covid-19 Level 2 restrictions currently obtaining, the Politburo resolved that having done well to contain the Covid-19 disaster as compared to other countries, the party must not get carried away. In times of national emergencies such as Covid-19, the priority of the party should be to protect the lives of our people and the security of our nation,” said Cde Chinamasa.<\/p>\n
He said the Politburo deliberated on various options available on holding the conference with suggestions on either, holding it virtually or postponing it indefinitely and hold it when the situation normalises.<\/p>\n
“After lively, honest and frank deliberations, the Politburo took the decision to postpone the Annual People’s Conference indefinitely, to allow the Government, party and the people to contain the Covid-19 pandemic without undue disturbances.”<\/p>\n
The conference, Cde Chinamasa said, would be held when the situation normalises and whenever that happens, Mashonaland Central Province would still host it.<\/p>\n
“At this moment we decided that we must comply with the Covid-19 regulations restrictions so that we do not jeopardise or risk the lives of our population,” said Cde Chinamasa.<\/p>\n
Turning to the disciplinary hearings update from the National Disciplinary Committee chaired by Cde Muchinguri-Kashiri, Cde Chinamasa said the Politburo received updates on disciplinary hearings that took place on various cases of members of the party.<\/p>\n
In the case of former Zanu PF deputy secretary for Youth Affairs Cde Chipanga Kudzanai from Manicaland, Cde Chinamasa said the Politburo turned down his application for readmission.<\/p>\n
