STATE Security Minister and Marondera-Wedza Senator Sydney Sekeramayi says those people who fantasized about the demise of Zanu PF were wasting their time and that the party has started emerging from its misfortunes and regrouping to reclaim its glory.
Speaking at victory celebrations for Marondera West Member of the House of Assembly Ambrose Mutinhiri at Mahusekwa Growth Point last weekend, Sekeramayi said people should not underestimate the capacity of Zanu PF to emerge from problems.
He said the party had faced many challenges since its formation, but has always emerged victorious.
"We are a party of strategy. We do not manage our party in public; but we consider our misfortunes and find ways to navigate them."
Sekeramayi also said the MDC party led by Morgan Tsvangirai must call for the removal of illegal sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe so that efforts by the political leadership to improve the livelihoods of ordinary people can bear fruit.
He said it was now time to be frank about the fact that it was the MDC that called for sanctions against Zimbabwe, and therefore that party should call for their removal.
"Sanctions should go and those who called for them must call for their removal. Without beating about the bush, MDC must call for the removal of the illegal sanctions as they have retarded development," he said.
Sekeramayi said those who thought Zanu PF was finished were wasting their time because the party would emerge stronger from its problems.
The party, he said, was working on addressing the problems that led to its bad performance in last year’s harmonised elections.
He said it was the party’s wish that Zimbabweans own the means of production and natural resources so that the profits would be ploughed back into national development.
"The country’s development will never be championed by foreigners but should be a result of our sweat and blood, hence the reason why people like Cde Mutinhiri took up arms to fight the unjust colonial system," he said.
Sekeramayi said the Zanu PF leadership should always strive to work for the people and help improve the lives of those in their communities if they were to retain their trust and respect.
He added that party members should iron out their differences and seek to regain parliamentary seats lost in last year’s elections.
"Let us be a party that understands the problems of our people. Day in and day out, party leaders in the districts, provinces and at national level should work towards improving the lives of our people regardless of party affiliation."
He said Mutinhiri’s history was clear for everyone to see and it was important that younger generations emulate such dedication to national causes.
Mutinhiri is credited with recruiting and training many freedoms fighters among them the late national hero Akin Ndlovu, Retired Zimbabwe National Army Commander General Solomon Mujuru, and Bulawayo Metropolitan Governor and Resident Minister Cain Matema among others, during his stint as Commander of Zimbabwe People’s Revolutionary Army.
Zipra was the military wing of Zapu.

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 20:05:49 • Long live the Zim Patriots of ZANU-PF!
Long live the Courageous and Virtuous Magnanimous Mugabe, greatest African hero since the Black Pharaohs created the longest running civilization ever in Egypt
Long African Patriots to see to the continued Liberation, Self-determination, Self-development, Self-Sufficiency, Peace, Progress and Prosperity of Africans in Zim and in the African diasporas
Let the racist and criminal invaders along with their apologists foolishly wish (vainly) for the end of ZANU-PF.
If it were possible for ZANU-PF to end anytime soon, then so too will the criminal invader gangs and their apologists come to an unpleasant end.
It is the ignorance, arrogance and ill will of the racists that would cause them to think that Africans are so stupid as to put lives, limbs and liberty on the line for African ancestral space, and then turn it over to the 'tools' of european criminals at home and abroad.
Ignorance, arrogance and ill is ALWAYS going to cause foreign and domestic fools to doubt the resolve of The First Man, The African!
However, Zim Patriots know themselves, and know their NATURAL RIGHTS to indigenous and ancestral space and resources.
Zim Patriots WILL NEVER surrender racist and criminal invaders, or surrender to those who are unfortunately still Mentally-enslaved and Deluded by Colonialists (MDC)!

My own Prime Minister lost his wife in a car accident which is a direct result of the so called targeted sanctions or measures. The roads in Zimbabwe are bad as a result of sanctions. Hospitals have no oxygen because there is no money to replenish supplies,people are dying of AID because we cannot afford anti-retrovirals because of sanctions not because of mismanagemant as Al Jezeera and them want us to believe.
So my President should tell SADC that my Prime Minister lost his wife because of restrictive measures and we want those removed forthwith. I have not given examples of ordinary Zimbabweans who have suffered through the British initiated sanctions- there are numerous to count including our teachers.
