“This is the main hall of the conference centre, which we built in 2012 but we have completely refurbished the hall and also the other ancillary buildings associated with the conference centre,” he said.
“This place can house 6 500 delegates but we are not expecting that many. We are expecting slightly over 3 000 delegates and they will be able to fit in here comfortably.”
Cde Mavima said the provincial conference committee made all preparations on time, adding that the province was ready to host a memorable conference.
“We have made all preparations and at this point in time we are at 99,73 percent complete, which means that we are ready to go,” he said.
“If His Excellency were to land right now, we would get started. There has been a lot of hard work and dedication from all sorts of people from the business community, the private sector, party members, and ordinary citizens. “People are just happy and excited about Zanu-PF and about the conference that is taking place.”
Cde Mavima said the conference is coming after President Mnangagwa and Zanu-PF defeated the Western-sponsored opposition parties in the August 23 election.
“So, we are happy and this is our Christmas party so to say and we can’t wait to get started,” he said.
Cde Mavima said the province has managed to secure accommodation for delegates at the Midlands State University (MSU), as well as Mkoba Teachers’ College. Some of the delegates will be housed in local hotels while some accommodation has been secured in Kwekwe and Zvishavane. Chronicle
