Addressing a ZANU-PF Mashonaland West PCC meeting, in Chinhoyi, recently, Ambassador Christopher Mutsvangwa, who is the party Spokesperson and Politburo member announced a call for the important scientific cell verification exercise to be implemented, across the nation with commencement dates to be communicated soon.

“As enshrined in our ZANU-PF Constitution, there shall be a cell verification exercise, we want to make sure that the numbers in our cells do tally with the number of our members who are registered to vote, this is a very important exercise meant to make sure ZANU-PF wins, we want to be scientific,” said Mutsvangwa.

ZANU-PF Deputy Political Commissar,Cde Webster Shamhu,said with the coming cell verification exercise the party was heading for an unimaginable victory.

 “We want more than 75% 0f the vote, 2/3 majority or more parliamentary seats, go out there make sure you register all those who are yet to register.

“The register from the cell verification exercise will be the official document to be used by the party, so go and do preparations for the important exercise, date for the commencement of the exercise will be communicated soon, “said Shamhu.

Mashonaland West Zanu Pf Provincial Chairperson, Mary Mliswa Chikoka confirmed that the province was on a massive voter registration drive, to make sure that those still to register, do so, before proclamation of the election date, by His Excellency President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa.

“Voter registration is going well let’s unite, make sure that we register all those who are yet to register, we have received 10 000 liters of fuel earmarked for voter mobilization so let’s play our part to make sure come elections, President Mnangagwa and ZANU-PF wins resoundingly,”

“As a province we have a great number of Aliens who had difficulties in accessing national documents, lets assist them to acquire the necessary documents, as well as registering them to vote,” she said.

Speaking at the same PCC meeting, Hon Ziyambi Ziyambi, ZANU (PF) Politburo member, and Party Secretary for Science and Technology and also Minister of Justice, Legal, and Parliamentary Affairs said The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission ZEC was yet to come up with a final delimitation report.

“What you saw being presented to President Mnangagwa,by ZEC chairperson is not the final delimitation report but were submissions explaining how ZEC was proposing on the delimitation process, as enshrined in our constitution,” said Ziyambi .

“The law is clear in that ZEC must consult before the final report and they have consulted, the President is now looking into the documents.

“After the President is satisfied, that’s when he will give ZEC the greenlight to finish the process, and come out with the final delimitation report,” he said.

Ambassador Mutsvangwa said the ongoing delimitation process was a clear testimony of Zimbabwe being a democratic country.

“As you have witnessed parliamentarians from both ZANU-PF and opposition parties all debated on the delimitation report, airing their views, thus showing manifestation of democracy in Zimbabwe,” he said.

Ambassador Mutsvangwa said Second Republic ’s engagement and re-engagement drive was bearing fruits with formerly hostile western countries, including the United States calling for friendly ties.

“For the past 22 years, the American Government was financing the opposition to unseat the government after the country’s land Reform Program.

“A top American diplomat approached ZANU-PF party’s headquarters and revealed that they have decided not to align and support a single party in Zimbabwe,as they now recognize all political parties as equal.

“Chamisa and the opposition should not brag that they have a superpower on their side. Just in case the opposition is not aware, I have just revealed it now that President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s engagement and re-engagement initiative has forced the Americans to want to be friends with us. Remember, the President always says we are friends to all and enemies to none.

“The US official said his government will respect whoever wins and we told them that they need to accept and advise the opposition to respect and accept whoever wins or loses,” he said.

Ambassador Mutsvangwa said the Americans refocus, was a result of the massive turnaround in socio- political and economic developments,the Second Republic was implementing.
