HARARE, Dec 15 (NNN-XINHUA) – Zimbabwean President, Emmerson Mnangagwa, urged Zimbabweans to work hard and increase land production to grow the economy.
In his closing remarks, at the end of the five-day 18th annual National Peoples’ Conference of the ruling ZANU-PF party, in Goromonzi, Masonaland East Province, the president called on Zimbabweans, to be more productive to boost the economy.
“Let us shift the mindset of the population towards production. Land must be productive and there is no more room for cellphone farmers,” he said.
He urged the nation to shun laziness, indiscipline, greed, corruption, selfishness and immorality.
He also challenged public sector workers to be result-oriented, while those charged with implementing government programmes, must deliver.
The president urged the nation to protect and defend the use of the Zimbabwe dollar, that was re-introduced in June this year, following the ban of the U.S. dollar, that had been in use for a decade.
Members disloyal to the ruling party’s philosophy and ideology, must recommit and correct their wrong doing, he added.
The conference was themed “Modernise, mechanise and grow the economy towards Vision 2030.”– NNN-XINHUA
