	Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On 18 March 1975 Herbert Chitepo was assassinated in Lusaka and Mugabe was nominated to lead ZANU.
		Later that year there was a factional split along tribal lines, and the Ndebele followed Sitole into the moderate Zanu (Ndonga) party, who renounced violent struggle, while the Shona followed Mugabe with a more militant agenda.
		ZANU allied itself with the Zimbabwe African People's Union in the Patriotic Front, but they split after achieving majority rule.

		ZANU PF summoned about 40 top business executives to a heated meeting last week and blamed them for Zimbabwe's deepening economic crisis, warning against public criticism of government policies.
		ZANU PF has previously accused industry of giving financial support to the opposition Movement for Democratic Change, and blamed businesses for hoarding basic foodstuffs to whip up emotions and cause an uprising against President Mugabe's government.
		At last week's meeting, Manyika stuck to the ZANU PF refrain that "detractors" of the land reform programme were sabotaging the economy.

		AS the jostling for the right to represent ZANU PF in the senatorial elections intensifies, cracks are widening within the ruling party amid revelations that the politburo wants to give the old guard the exclusive right to represent the ruling party in the polls.
		ZANU PF used its controversial majority in Parliament to amend the country's constitution for the 17th time since independence from Britain in 1980 to allow for the re-establishment of an Upper House for which the senatorial elections are to be held.
		However, according to Elliot Manyika, the ZANU PF national political commissar, in the absence of primary elections, candidates would be elected through consensus at district and provincial levels before their names are submitted to the national elections directorate.

		Zanu PF also had interests in several firms such as National Blankets, Woolworths and Ottawa Building, which used to house ANC political activists in Harare during the 1980s, were disposed of in unclear circumstances.
		Zanu PF is also in deep financial trouble because companies owned by its supporters and well-wishers are also in distress due to the current economic crisis.

		Political commentators said angry reactions by some ZANU PF heavyweights to suggestions by anxious party members that the contentious succession issue be discussed at the party’s annual conference that ended in Masvingo at the weekend was a result of the fear of imponderables that could come out of the debate.
		During last week’s ZANU PF 7th Annual People’s Conference, some senior party officials including Vice President Joseph Msika went into paroxysms of apoplexy when it emerged that some "young turks" within the party were distributing a paper seeking that the succession issue be debated.
		ZANU PF members who dared raise the issue were labelled all sorts of names and risked their membership to the party.

		BULAWAYO — As the ruling ZANU PF inches closer to a two-thirds majority in Parliament after its weekend victory in a by-election in Lupane, analysts say the main opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party may be destined for political oblivion unless a miracle happens in next year’s general election.

		Zanu PF was more useful during the liberation struggle than it has been in a free Zimbabwe, especially since the 1990s.
		Zanu PF has shown that it is a cruel party that will go to all lengths to protect its leaders at the expense of ordinary men, women and children.
		Therefore to say that Zimbabweans still need Zanu PF is extremely provocative for the majority Zimbabweans who do not want to be associated with a political bonga.

		Moyo argued Zanu PF did not have a two-thirds majority because the 10 chiefs in parliament could not in terms of the constitution be counted as Zanu PF MPs.
		Moyo said although there had been numerous misleading media reports saying Zanu PF had a two-thirds majority, he was forced to take action after “the matter in question took a dramatic turn for the worse, with far-reaching consequences for the rule of law and good constitutional governance of our national affairs” on May 27.
		Moyo said while “outlandish and false political claims” were common in uninformed political debates, Chinamasa’s memorandum to the Zanu PF meeting was “scandalous insofar as it goes beyond uninformed and misinformed political discourse and seeks to give legal effect to the prevailing political claim that Zanu PF won or has a two-thirds majority”.

		They were made to intimidate and beat up other members of their own party and were at times used as a decoy when trying to gain entry to the homes of supporters of the opposition movement.

	Zanu PF use cynical criteria to determine hero status - Sokwanele
		The denial of ex President Rev Canaan as a hero is seen by some as a rejection of the part he played in the history of this country’s battle for freedom.
		The decision was obviously made in reference to Mugabe’s previous statement that homosexuals are ''worse than dogs and pigs.'' This provides a revealing insight into the criteria used by Zanu PF to determine hero status, for there are many buried in “Heroes Acre” who died with the blood of innocent victims on their hands.
		Hence, murder is obviously an acceptable modus operandi in the illegal regime, homosexuality a far greater crime and the grounds to deny hero status.

	Constitutional madness will not save Zanu PF
		The first myth peddled by Zanu PF is that Zimbabwe is still under the Lancaster Constitution and this claim allows Zanu PF to give the false impression that all it is doing is to amend a colonial constitution in order to paint its opponents as running dogs of imperialism who support a colonial constitution.
		A third myth invented after the March 31, 2005 general election is that Zanu PF was given a mandate to amend the constitution by the electorate.
		Zanu PF has been illegally and corruptly manipulating through patronage and counting as part of its membership and caucus ten chiefs who are not appointed by Mugabe but who are directly elected by a special electoral college of chiefs in order to get the required two thirds majority by bring its seats to 108.

		Zvobgo, who many thought would switch politics for law after a run-in with his ZANU PF colleagues amid infighting in the party, is on record as having said that the allegations were "demeaning and a pack of lies" soon after word got out that he would be dragged in front of a disciplinary committee.
		ZANU PF, which has previously shown a subtle flush of impatience with Zvobgo, a compelling speaker endowed with charm and eloquence, felt that this could have jeopardised President Mugabe’s chances of victory.

		At the weekend, ZANU PF national chairman John Nkomo told the state media that his party was in no hurry to draft an agenda for the talks and this week no ZANU PF official turned up for a preliminary meeting planned between the party and the church leaders who are trying to facilitate the dialogue.
		Throughout these talks, hawks in ZANU PF like the late Morris Nyagumbo and Enos Nkala repeatedly denied that there were any talks going on between the ruling party and PF ZAPU, or rushed to the Press at every opportunity to announce that the talks had collapsed.
