Zanu PF provincial leadership has thrown its weight behind Constitutional Amendment Number 3, with Minister of State for Masvingo Provincial Affairs and Devolution Ezra Chadzamira declaring that the party’s cell restructuring has reinvigorated grassroots support and positioned the ruling party for total dominance .
Minister Chadzamira framed the constitutional amendments as essential to President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Vision 2030 agenda, which the Bill’s term extension provisions directly facilitate .
“Those who dream of another leader before 2030 should seek exorcism of evil spirits because President Mnangagwa is our God-ordained leader, shepherding the country towards Vision 2030,” he said.
The Minister emphasized that the party’s cell mobilisation drive, rebuilding structures from the village level upward-has breathed new life into Zanu PF’s grassroots machinery ahead of future electoral contests .
“The cell system is the backbone of our revolutionary party. We now have a direct line from the President to the village. Every ward, every village, every household is now part of our structure. This is why we are winning, and this is why we will continue to win,” said Minister Chadzamira.
“Those opposing Amendment Number 3 do not understand the wishes of the people. The people want development, not endless elections. They want roads, schools, and clinics, not annual campaigns that divide communities,” he said.
“This amendment is not about individuals; it is about ensuring that Vision 2030 is not derailed by premature political contests. We need time to deliver, and the people have given us that mandate.”
He said that the cell restructuring programme has transformed the party’s organisational capacity .
“We now have cells reporting upwards every week. We know the challenges our people face because we are living among them. This is the difference between Zanu PF and opposition parties that only remember the people during elections.”
The cell restructuring programme, which Zanu PF has prioritized nationally, aims to ensure every ward and village has active party structures capable of mobilizing support and communicating party policies directly to communities .
“Our structures are now stronger than ever. We are building a party that will serve the people uninterrupted, without the disruptions that come with election cycles. Amendment Number 3 secures this continuity,” said Hon.Chadzamira.
Hon. Chadzamira’s endorsement of Amendment Number 3 aligns Masvingo province President Mnangagwa’s home region and a traditional Zanu PF stronghold-firmly behind the constitutional changes now before Parliament .
“Masvingo stands with President Mnangagwa. Masvingo stands with Vision 2030. Masvingo stands with Amendment Number 3. Anyone who thinks otherwise is dreaming,” he said.
