	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.

		But Zanu PF says it is „inconceivable‰ that Tregers, in which the party has a 41,96% shareholding, managed to declare a $1,2 billion dividend in four years when its annual turnover was about $150 billion.
		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.

		Zanu (PF) has not changed its spots from the philosophy, which brought about and carried out the campaign of violence, which led to the 1985 Elections directed towards the opposition supporters, and members of ethnic minorities.
		Essentially Zanu (PF) is a party of violence; it was born in a violent birth in 1963, when the original Zanu splinter group left Zapu in 1963.
		Zanu (PF) then refined this culture of violence into an art in 1981 with the Aid of the North Koreans; they formed PISI, CIO, and the "Firth Brigade" and launched the "Gukurahundi", a war on the villagers in Matebeleland and Midlands between 1982 and 1988.

		Zanu PF's female members have been asking for the quota since 1999, but complying with the request six weeks before the elections on 31 March would suggest that the party is using it to attract votes - now that the rhetoric on land reform has all but worn out.
		Thirty-six seats were designated for women in the Zanu PF primaries: some were elected unopposed, while others replaced male candidates sidelined for allegedly attempting to derail Joyce Mujuru's elevation to the vice-presidency; other seats, initially designated for women, were instead declared open, and many women lost to male candidates.
		The Zanu PF candidate for the Gutu North constituency in Masvingo province and an MP since 1985, Shuvai Mahofa, said she would lobby for "a law for 50 percent female representation, starting with urban and rural councils, and finally parliament", instead of each party doing as it felt.

		ZANU PF has dissolved party structures in Bulawayo for the second time in less than a month on the orders of Vice-President Joseph Msika, as internal feuds threaten to split the party ahead of next month’s election.
		Angry party members told the Zimbabwe Independent this week that the dissolution of party structures was being masterminded by the Zanu PF old guard opposed to former provincial chairman and war veterans national chairman Jabulani Sibanda.
		Sibanda fell out of favour with senior Zanu PF members in the province after he questioned their alleged corrupt practices and was subsequently suspended from Zanu PF for four years for indiscipline.

		Political analysts said it is clear from the actions and activities of ZANU PF that the party, which has been in existence for over four decades, is preparing for a make or break election that may come anytime within the next 18 months.
		ZANU PF has won nine out of the 12 parliamentary by-elections held since 2000 to increase its seats in Parliament from 62 to 66 and observers cited violence and widespread voter apathy as the main factors contributing to the results.
		More than a dozen ZANU PF legislators have had their elections nullified by the High Court mainly on the grounds of the violence that characterised the 2000 polls but are still sitting in Parliament on the legal technicality that they are appealing against the rulings in the Supreme Court.

	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.

	Zimbabwe -- ZANU PF woos MDC
		SOME senior ruling ZANU PF party officials attempted to lure opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) leaders to agree to dialogue and possibly a power-sharing pact between the two parties while MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai was in jail last week.
		ZANU PF national chairman John Nkomo refused to take questions on the matter, instead referring this paper to the ruling party?s spokesman Nathan Shamuyarira.
		A former trade unionist-turned-opposition politician, Tsvangirai is viewed by power brokers in ZANU PF as the stumbling block to resumption of dialogue that could lead to a power-sharing pact between ZANU PF and the MDC in which the latter would be a junior partner.

	SADOCC - News - Zanu PF heads for split over Chiyangwa
		The humiliating arrest of Zanu PF Mashonaland West provincial chairman Phillip Chiyangwa at the weekend could further split the ruling party right through the middle at a crucial moment when it is trying to ward off a threat posed by the opposition.
		As a Zanu PF provincial chairman, Chiyangwa is seen as an influential party cadre in the dicey debate to choose President Robert Mugabe’s successor ahead of the expiry of the Zimbabwean leader’s term of office in 2008.
		Masepe said Zanu PF could not afford to sit back and watch official corruption flourish ahead of an election so it needed to be seen to be doing something even when there was a risk of splitting the party further.

		While the potential for fissures within ZANU PF became more glaring after the infamous Tsholotsho meeting, which has claimed the scalps of over a dozen party hopefuls, it is the imposition of candidates this week that has driven disgruntled cadres to the edge.

		It'll be the same story for thousands of well-meaning democrats with meagre internal resources, seen by Zanu PF as part of the Movement for Democratic Change's challenge in the parliamentary election scheduled for March 2005.
		Resorting to Africa-centrism and its 1964 ideology of "we are our own liberators", Zanu PF claims these organisations tot up murder and torture accounts and teach the bourgeois delusions of multiparty democracy and individual liberty all for the Blair-Bush conspiracy.
		History reveals that this myth-lie is impossible, and that Zanu PF knew it at the beginning of the road.

	allAfrica.com: Zimbabwe: Senate: Divisions Rock Zanu PF (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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’s own primaries have shown that the party is in shambles, and that may have an adverse effect on Mugabe’s exit plan,” a University of Zimbabwe political scientist told IWPR on condition of anonymity.
		Mugabe arm-twisted ZANU PF delegates from all the country’s ten provinces to nominate Mujuru for the post of national vice-president.
		These divisions, which have surfaced very publicly, are unlikely to affect ZANU PF before the March elections unless some of the dissidents stand as independent candidates, in which case they will be automatically fired from the party.

		As the purge got into motion, the six chairmen were yesterday hauled before Zanu PF's disciplinary committee chaired by party chairman John Nkomo to explain their actions.
		But the sources said the Zanu PF politburo, which normally meets on Wednesday but will meet today, was scheduled to discuss the final action to be taken against the chairmen as well as endorse the dismissal of Moyo, Chinamasa and others.
