President Mnangagwa’s policies, including his 100-day programme, have inspired hope among less-privileged members of society, especially women, and should be emulated for the country to experience sustainable development.

Addressing Zanu-PF’s district, provincial and senior party members in Chinhoyi recently, the party’s secretary for Women’s League, Cde Mabel Chinomona, said President Mnangagwa needed to be given an overwhelming mandate for him to continue on the same course.

“The President, at his inauguration, said he was hitting the ground running to develop the country,” she said. “Developing the country starts at your home. Do you have a thriving garden and broilers that you are rearing?

“How are you hitting the ground running? We do not want people who hit the ground running to spread gossip. The tendency of gossiping in the Women’s League, which characterised the previous administration, will not be tolerated.”

Party members, said Cde Chinomona, should actively canvass for support for the 2018 harmonised elections.

“You should start to talk to the people that you are not in good books with,” she said. “Persuade people to come to Zanu-PF and also show them that there is love in the party. Talk to them and understand them so that you can proffer solutions to the issues they are faced with.”

Cde Chinomona said people should not be motivated to join the party for leadership positions.

“Let us be organised as women,” she said. “We have hope for a better future as women under the leadership of President Mnangagwa.

“With his leadership, we have better prospects of being successful women. The President gave himself 100 days to implement tangible projects.”

Cde Chinomona said legislators were under pressure to deliver by building dams, sinking boreholes, while improving the general standards of life of the people.

“So, as women, what have you prepared f as targets for the 100 days at your home?” she said.

Cde Chinomona said President Mnangagwa had forgiven members of the G40 group, even those who poisoned him.

She cautioned that such people should show contrition and accept the new political administration. The ruling party’s Women’s League, Cde Chinomona said, should be heavily involved in the forthcoming harmonised elections.

Speaking at the same occasion, national secretary for finance Cde Caroline Tsitsi Mugabe said people had the power to make meaningful changes when they were focused.
