Economically, he has succeeded to take Zimbabwe out of the abyss it has been for the last two decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Politically, his charming character, shrewdness, calmness and personal demeanour have all helped The Crocodile, as President Mnangagwa is affectionately known in the political circles, to re-brand Zanu PF into an attractive and popular political party on the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In just three years of being at the helm as the party&#8217;s president and First Secretary, President Mnangagwa has grown membership of the Zanu PF party to four million card carrying members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The target is to hit five million registered members as the country heads to the 2023 harmonised elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The party has been carrying out restructuring exercise in all the 10 provinces, a development the acting Zanu PF spokesperson Cde Mike Bihma has described as fruitful and a game changer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cde Bimha also dispelled reports being peddled by opposition sympathisers that the revolutionary party was battling deep divisions saying, &#8220;Those saying Zanu PF is divided are living in fools paradise. The party is growing in numbers each passing day. As a party we are so united now than we have ever been in our history.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2018, Zanu PF had nearly 2,500,000 Zimbabweans that voted for President Mnangagwa as President of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The figure is expected to grow to five million during 2023 elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zanu PF was founded in 1963 as a militant organisation that fought against white minority rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ideologically driven pan-african nationalist left wing party has been in power since independence in 1980.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Taonga Botolo President Emmerson Mnangagwa is succeeding from all fronts.
