Agrarian revolution key to Zimbabwean development

Introduction:

ZANU as a grass roots movement reflects the political ethics and cultural ethics of the majority of the people of Zimbabwe, while there may be some aspects of Zimbabwean politics that may seem strange to a westener, most people can relate to the correlation between agriculture and development beacuse there is an obvious link to this regardless of what cultural herritage you inherit, and regardless of where you live, regardless of the colour of your skin, your creed, political views, your gender or your sexual orientation among other things, few people can agrue about the central role agriculture plays for in the over all development of society.
Suggestions up for discussion on what to include in a new constitution


in the case of a new consitution being drawn and accepted by the public
the party ZANU PF have already started suggesting themes and topics on what to include in this proposed new constitution if it becomes a reality, some questions seem to be more peripheral compared to others, among other things the number of terms for a President among other things, but never the less the party has provided a new angle to the importance of agrarian revolution by stating in the Herald today March 14, the importance that the consitution must express the need for the state to guard the gains of the revolutionary struggle. Harare Pronvince ZANU chairman Cde. Midzi explained: "The district chairpersons will collect the document and distribute it among members. The position paper contains our thoughts as a party on various issues that we need to be in the new constitution,"
the policy paper also reveals that the party is of the opinion that:
"The liberation war was fought to regain land. Therefore, the State has the obligation to compulsorily acquire land for resettlement purposes, compensation for the land acquired should be borne by the former colonial masters,"

the policy paper also makes clear that the party suggest that the constitution shouls ensure individual rights such as
Rights to life, liberty, security, freedom of speech, education, political rights, agricultural land, protection of law right to property and right to information.
A new phase in Zimbabwes society building?

ZANU also see it as important to maintain and safeguard african cultural norms, some of which differ from traditional western norms, however one must always remember that the Republic of Zimbabwe is an indpendent state and that the people of zimbabwe have fought for their sovereign right to self government. Now the delibrations and suggestings for a new phase in Zimbabwean society building is on the way.
The role of the solidarity movement

as bystanders, within the solidarity movement we can only hope that everything works out for the best and that the purposed new consitution if it happens correnspondes well to the social, political, cultural and spiritual needs of the Zimbabwean people, or at least the overwhelming majority, as solidarity workers we must remeber we can embrace the Zimbabwean people and support their inalienable right to self goverment, but we cannot decide what is suitable what may or may not be suitable to include in the constitution, we can only put our faith in the that they will decided what is suitable for them and accept this. It obvious of course that Zimbabweans who know their own culture better than we do.

Suggestion: No to the Prime minister, but yes to the Council of Cheifs

according to the policy paper with suggestions for the new constitution ZANU [P.F.] suggest Executive President as Head of State and Government and Commander in Cheif should after being elected be authorised to appoint one or two vice presidents, however the party suggests that there should be no prime ministers, however the party suggests that the right to african traditional Cheif representation should continue to be maintained through the council of Cheifs.
