ZANU-PF activist says ED 2030 agenda ‘unstoppable’

A ZANU-PF activist has declared that efforts to
extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s rule
beyond 2028 are “unstoppable” describing the
push as a people-driven resolution.

Zimbabwe Youth Action Platform (ZYAP) leader
Tonderai Shumba Chidawa made the remarks
during a press conference in Harare on Friday
insisting that the ruling party’s 2024 conference
resolution calling for Mnangagwa to remain in
office until 2030 must be implemented.

“All ZANU-PF provinces have called for the
implementation of the 2030 resolution, a
landmark initiative vital for the nation’s future”
Chidawa said, likening the resolution to “an
unstoppable locomotive” that could not be
reversed.

He dismissed suggestions that Mnangagwa
personally sought an extension, saying the
demand came from the grassroots.
“President Mnangagwa is not the one pushing
for his stay in office beyond 2028. It is a
resolution from the people. If the voice of the
people is the voice of God, then God is speaking
through the people, who are pleading with the
President to remain,” he said.

Chidawa argued that the country was
experiencing peace and development, which he
said justified calls for Mnangagwa to remain in
power.

He urged those within the party with leadership
ambitions to wait until after 2030.
“For those harbouring untamed ambitions, we
advise patience. The sentiment among the
people is clear: they wish for the President to
remain in power until 2030, and it is crucial that
we align with this collective vision” he said
further urging party members to stay active in
political and national events.
