WikiLeaks made us stronger: Zanu-PFPosted by By Our reporter at 12 October, at 00 : 53 AM
PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe’s Zanu-PF says the recent revelations by whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks, have made the party stronger and united in face of “the enemy”. WikiLeaks revealed that some Zanu-PF members engaged United States officials and deliberated on sensitive matters without party approval.
The party has hinted that it will investigate the origins and authenticity of the revelations by the website. Several junior and senior Zanu-PF members allegedly engaged America through its embassy in Harare.
Zanu-PF, for the first time, discussed the WikiLeaks revelations at its Central Committee meeting last Thursday.
Party spokesperson Rugare Gumbo (pictured 2nd from left) yesterday confirmed the matter was discussed in the party organ.
He however, pointed out that the issue would not divide the party.
“It is true that the issue of WikiLeaks was discussed by the Central Committee. The President was very clear that as a party we are looking into the matter to establish the origins and authenticity of the statements regarding what WikiLeaks revealed,” Gumbo said.
He, however, said President Mugabe emphasised that the nation should wait until the results of the probe were revealed.
Gumbo added: “The President said the nation has to wait until we examine the permutations of the WikiLeaks revelations.”
He said President Mugabe observed that there was an exaggeration of what was revealed by WikiLeaks in the private media.
“At the present moment newspapers, particularly the private media tend to extract what they think will suit their marketing strategies and not what was originally said,” said Gumbo.
Zanu-PF discussed the WikiLeaks expose after a motion on the subject was moved by a Central Committee Member from Manicaland Province, Mandi Chimene. Cde Gumbo said reports by WikiLeaks had made Zanu-PF much stronger.
“We are going to be much stronger. Right now we are making the necessary preparations for our National People’s Conference and they are going on very well. We are quite united in what we are going to do,” he said.
Last week, Gumbo said Zanu-PF had a long liberation history and would not be affected by WikiLeaks revelations.
“This is a party with a long history. When we went to the struggle, there were conflicts and some people were even killed. We are taping into that experience to deal with WikiLeaks. I can assure you we cannot be divided,” he said.
The Politburo did not discuss the matter at its meeting last week.

I love this line from the Rubiyaat of Omar K. but not sure it is accurate, but you know what I mean…
“The moving finger writes; and, having writ, moves on: nor all thy piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all thy tears wash out a word of it.”
The Government Shall Be Upon His Shoulders. Isaiah 9.2–7 … the Government shall be upon his shoulders. And his name shall be called, Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God …
It is amazing that even in this day, in the age of the www, eons away from the day our planet and our people were created, God has his way of dealing with those who would veto his Word and try and destroy those whom he has appointed to do the work which he has ordained.
The truth will always OUT.
