The Million Man March scheduled for Harare this Wednesday will ensure the Zanu-PF Youth League strengthens its relations with President Mugabe, the organ’s deputy secretary Cde Kudzai Chipanga has said.

In an interview with The Sunday Mail, Cde Chipanga said organisers had mobilised all party structures, with churches and Southern African liberation movements represented.

“The march, organised by the Zanu-PF Youth League, celebrates the President’s leadership since Independence in 1980 and his successful tenure as Chair of both Sadc and the African Union.

“We have mobilised all party structures; the response has been overwhelming. Everywhere we go, people are excited about this event, which will reaffirm President Mugabe as our leader — nothing more, nothing less.

“At the 2014 National People’s Congress, it was resolved that the party must have one centre of power. It is, therefore, important for us, as a wing of the party, to regularly meet our icon to get political direction.”

Cde Chipanga also said: “We have created assembly points: Masvingo and Mashonaland East will gather at Rufaro Stadium, Manicaland at Raylton Sports Club, Mashonaland West at Kensington Shopping Centre and Mashonaland Central opposite the South African Embassy.

“The Midlands and Matabeleland provinces will assemble at the National Sports Stadium, with the march to Robert Mugabe Square starting at 9:30. VIP accreditation will be done at party headquarters (tomorrow).”
