ZANU PF’s cell verification exercise has landed in Hwange, anchoring its strategy to measure growth and strengthen grassroots structures while placing youths at the centre of its development vision.
At an inter-district meeting held at Hwange Colliery Club, Politburo members Advocate Jacob Mudenda and Cde Tino Machakaire underlined the importance of the process, stressing that young people remain a vital pillar for the party’s future. They urged districts lagging behind to accelerate their membership regularisation and ensure inclusivity across all communities.
Advocate Mudenda highlighted that the party’s empowerment programmes reflect its commitment to youth participation, while Cde Machakaire reinforced that verification is not only about numbers but about engaging key stakeholders for long-term cohesion.
The exercise dovetails with the ruling party’s broader developmental agenda. In Matebeleland North, for instance, youths have benefited from empowerment initiatives such as business trucks and cattle ranching projects, building economic capacity while deepening political mobilisation.
For ZANU PF, the Hwange programme is more than administrative housekeeping. It is a strategic mechanism to entrench structures, expand membership, and link political organisation with tangible empowerment, an equation the party sees as vital for both its survival and national development.
