Recently-elected Zanu-PF District Coordinating Committee (DCC) members for Harare should start working towards ensuring that the party has a membership of five million by 2023.

Speaking at the graduation of the DCCs executive members who went through a one-week symposium at Herbert Chitepo School of Ideology, in Harare on Wednesday, the party’s National Political Commissar, Cde Victor Matemadanda, said there was a mobilisation strategy which the DCCs should work towards achieving.

“We have a mobilisation strategy as a party for mobilisation of five million members by 2023, so do not bring excuses, but work towards making sure that the target is reached,” he said.

“We are now sending you to go and mobilise masses and ensure that people are well aware of the party’s ideas. We are now sending you to mobilise those people that were traditionally perceived to be people we cannot work with.

“Mobilisation for the party should start earnestly.”

Cde Matemadanda urged the DCC members to effectively fight corruption to consolidate the party’s vibrancy.

Chitepo School of Ideology principal Cde Munyaradzi Machacha said President Mnangagwa had given a directive that the newly elected DCCs should not commence their duties until they were fully enlightened about the party’s ideology.
