The rains are pounding, let us all go back and diligently work the fields.The success of our nation depends on how well we are organised; how well we allocate our resources and how well we use our time.As we execute our responsibilities all of us must strive to be honest, disciplined, transparent, selfless and accountable in our activities inside and outside the party.The principles of servant leadership must be upheld. These are values and national ethos which must be embedded in us and bequeathed in future generations.All party members and the nation as a whole must shun retrogressive tendencies such as laziness, indiscipline, greed, corruption, selfishness and immorality, among other voices".The President also urged Party members to be alive to attempts by the opposition to cause disunity and violence within the country in order to please its foreign paymasters.He said the Party and Zimbabweans must remain firmly focused on productivity, unity, peace and harmony."I exhort you to be vigilant in the coming year and going forward. Keep your eyes and ears open.The January nonsense and periodic mischievous activities by opposition elements such as those we witnessed this year must be nipped in the bud.Never again should we allow the loss of the precious lives of our countrymen to feed the agenda of a notorious few.Let us, therefore, expose their lies and fake news by always preaching the truth and the message of hope among our people. Every citizen must keep their eyes on the ball, and the ball is productivity, unity, peace and harmony."
