Innocent Sibonginkosi Ncube
The ED 2030 slogan has reportedly been banned, according to Tafadzwa Lawrence Chabata’s post on X, citing minutes from a recent Zanu PF Harare Special PCC meeting.
This move marks a significant shift away from previous messaging and aligns with President Mnangagwa’s repeated statements that he will not seek to extend his term beyond 2028.
In fact, Mnangagwa has emphasized his commitment to upholding the Constitution, stating, “I am a constitutionalist… I follow the law and the Constitution” ². This ban on the ED 2030 slogan appears to reinforce his stance.
Key Takeaways from the Meeting:
- Presidential Term Limit: Party leaders confirmed Mnangagwa’s term will end in 2028, with elections planned for 2027.
- Unity and Focus: Members were urged to prioritize unity and avoid internal divisions.
- Land Barons Accountability: The Harare Resident Minister promised unbiased arrests.
- Social Media Discipline: Plans are underway to create a policy addressing online conduct.
It’s worth noting that despite Mnangagwa’s assurances, some observers believe he may still face pressure to reconsider his decision not to seek a third term ². However, for now, the ban on the ED 2030 slogan suggests the party is moving forward with a focus on unity and adherence to the Constitution.
