Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>ZANU PF leaders should abide by the party\u2019s constitution when discharging their duties President Emmerson Mnangagwa has said.<\/p>\n

Making his opening remarks at the Zanu PF politburo meeting at the party\u2019s headquarters yesterday, Mnangagwa read the riot act to party members saying indiscipline had no place in the ruling party.<\/p>\n

He called on the party leadership to nurture an unflinching sense of respect for the party constitution.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdherence to principle, honesty and integrity must remain the hallmark of party leaders and the membership in general,\u201d Mnangagwa said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll organs of the party must always discharge their duties in line with the dictates, rules and regulations of our colossal revolutionary party.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe commissariat department, supported by the respective wings, must lead more energetically, to entrench this culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

He did not elaborate further on what led to the reading of the riot act.<\/p>\n

In the past weeks, Zanu PF youths have been calling for their leader to stay until 2030 in contravention of the constitutionally-mandated two-term limit.<\/p>\n

Mnangagwa is in his second and last term, according to the Constitution. Early this month, Mnangagwa dismissed speculation that he would seek a third term in office.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the commissioning of the Mutare Teachers College\u2019s fruit juice and water processing plant, Mnangagwa reiterated that he would step down after his current term and make way for new leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am serving my last term and after that, I will retire and rest,\u201d he said, citing the party and national constitutions\u2019 two-term limits.<\/p>\n

Mnangagwa also called on the party to adhere to the constitution when solving party grievances.<\/p>\n

\u201cSimilarly, clarifications regarding party mobilisation, restructuring and co-options as well as disciplinary procedures must be clearly explained to our structures. In this regard, our constitution is the fundamental point of reference,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mnangagwa fumed over lack of a database for all party members.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe effective deployment of information communication technologies for comprehensive, authentic and verifiable party membership database is taking too long,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere there are hurdles, challenges must be identified and the requisite technical partnerships sought to bring traction to this issue. We have talked enough and now demand concrete results.\u201d<\/p>\n
