Speaking
to
the
ZANU
PF
Central
Committee,
Mnangagwa
urged
members
to
guard
against
infiltration
while
ensuring
they
strictly
follow
the
party’s
Constitution.
He
said:
We
must
always
guard
against
infiltration
and
waywardness
within
party
structures.
We
need
to
address
abuses
decisively
without
abandoning
our
structures.
Hidden
agendas
create
such
abuses.
The
solution
to
challenges,
for
example
within
the
DCC,
is
not
to
dismantle
the
structure
but
to
correct
the
issues
through
strict
adherence
to
the
party
Constitution,
rules,
and
procedures.As
a
key
decision-making
body
of
our
party,
ZANU
PF,
it
is
our
responsibility
as
the
Central
Committee
to
ensure
that
all
members
stay
on
the
right
path.
Mnangagwa’s
calls
for
party
members
to
respect
the
Constitution
seem
insincere,
especially
since
he
hasn’t
condemned
influential
figures
like
Midlands
Provincial
Affairs
Minister
Owen
Mudha
Ncube
and
Local
Government
Minister
Daniel
Garwe.
These
officials
have
called
for
an
extension
of
his
term,
even
though
the
Constitution
limits
presidents
to
two
terms.
In
Masvingo
Province,
there
have
been
calls
for
Mnangagwa
to
stay
in
power
beyond
2028
when
he
will
finish
his
two
terms.
The
slogan
“ED
2030”
was
first
heard
in
Masvingo
and
is
now
commonly
used
at
ZANU
PF
meetings
across
the
country.
Mnangagwa’s
warnings
come
as
reports
indicate
growing
divisions
within
ZANU
PF.
Allegedly,
one
group
supports
his
2030
agenda,
while
another
backs
Vice
President
Constantino
Chiwenga.
Meanwhile,
Job
Sikhala,
the
Chairperson
of
the
National
Democratic
Working
Group
(NDWG),
has
advised
Zimbabweans
to
avoid
getting
involved
in
ZANU
PF’s
internal
conflicts.
Said
Sikhala:
ZANU
PF’s
infighting
should
be
observed
from
a
distance.
Let
them
battle
each
other.
I
caution
every
Zimbabwean
to
be
careful
not
to
be
used
again,
as
happened
in
2017.The
masses
took
to
the
streets
in
November
2017,
believing
they
were
removing
Mugabe
for
their
benefit,
only
to
be
told
by
Patrick
Chinamasa
that
it
was
a
ZANU
PF
issue.
