Civil servants belong to Zanu pf --central committee member

Civil Servants belong to Zanu Pf ,says Central Committee Member By Dumisani Ndlovu Gweru based Zanu PF Central Committee Member, Wellington Magura recently stated that all government workers belonged to the ruling Zanu Pf party and they are obliged to support the party. Although, Section 200 (5) of the national constitution obligates political neutrality for all civil servants, Magura said the fact that they work for the government lead by the ruling party automatically means they work for for the ruling party. Magura who is also an aspiring legislator for the newly established Mkoba South Constituency expressed his sentiments to the fairly attended Civil Servants Trust-ED event recently held in Gweru. The event was attended by representative of heads of government departments and Zanu PF structures who gathered for the official launch of the Civil Servants Trust-ED Midlands chapter launch. The launch was held at Mkoba Teacher’s College hall on Thursday, 27 April 2023. In a bold-worded statement during his address, Magura who started by asking a deliberate quest about the different between the political party and Government declared and bragged that there was no difference between Zanu Pf and government. “There is no one who can say there is political interference when you (Civil Servants) support Zanu Pf, never! Because that’s where you are employed,” he said with a mischievous twinkle on his eyes. At the event scores of senior civil servants were chanting Zanu PF slogans. “Civil servants here present and all government workers are working for Zanu PF,you must be fuly aware made fully aware that whenever there is a gathering, you stand for the government and who is the government, Zanu Pf of course, in fact you are working for President Mnangagwa” "What therefore stops Civil Servants to belong to Zanu Pf when they are working for the ruling Zanu Pf party running the government? We are looking forward to a situation where civil Servants know that they are working for the ruling party,” Magura added. Speaking at the same function Civil Servants TrustED national chairperson, Loraine Mutenure, who said strongly believes in President Mnangagwa’s mantra that “Nyika Inovakwa Nevene Vayo”, persuaded those who attended the event to tell friends about their organisation. "Tell your friend to tell a friend to come and grab economic empowerment opportunities so that you don’t rely on salaries,"she said, strongly castigated Civil servants who resort to strikes and demanding what she said was unjustified salaries from government.
