Vice-Presidents Emmerson Mnangagwa and Phelekezela Mphoko toured the 15th Zanu-PF Annual National People’s Conference venue yesterday, expressing satisfaction with preparations.
The conference, themed “Consolidating People’s Power Through Zim-Asset”, takes place at Elephant Hills Golf Course from December 7-13, 2015, though the Politburo sits in Harare tomorrow.
The VPs were in Victoria Falls at the invitation of party Secretary for Administration and conference co-ordinator Dr Ignatius Chombo.
They received organising committee reports and then went around the venue — occasionally hand-in-hand — and cracking jokes.
The accompanying party comprised Politburo members Cdes Simon Khaya Moyo, Cain Mathema, Kembo Mohadi, Jacob Mudenda, Sithokozile Mathuthu, Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri and Obert Mpofu, among other officials.
VP Mnangagwa said the conference will focus on 2014 Congress resolutions and review Zim-Asset implementation.
“The chairman of the co-ordinating committee, Cde Chombo, invited my colleague and I to come and see progress made by sub-committees in preparation for the conference.
“We are highly impressed by the degree of progress in all sectors. We are satisfied that everything possible has been done and we are bracing for a very successful conference. You can see how everything has been set, including the main plenary tent. This is beautiful.”
Ten tents – one per province – have been pitched and furnished, and workman are putting finishing touches to the marquee.
Other facilities like offices, a clinic and media centre are also ready, with access roads and corridors surfaced. Electricity and Internet connectivity are available.
