The branch congresses have now been completed and the ward congresses in the 1 958 wards across the country taking place this weekend.
By Sunday, 24 March 2019, there will be newly elected ward executives across the length and breadth of Zimbabwe.District congresses are slated for 29-31 March while the provincial congresses will take place from 7-16 April 2019, starting with Matabeleland South province.
The process so far has gone on peacefully and without incident. Notwithstanding misleading press reports of chaos, our congress is living true to the democratic culture and character as encapsulated in chapter 4 of the MDC constitution.
Our Congress to be held on 24-26 May will be a festival of ideas. It will prioritize propositions and not positions. So far, the people across the country continue to elect leaders of their choice at various levels and our Congress process is well on course.

Zimbabwe’s informal mining sector is in the spotlight after an accident at a gold mine killed at least 24 people last month. As many as 70 informal miners were believed to be working inside two abandoned mineshafts near the town of Battlefields, southwest of Harare, when the underground tunnels were flooded by water from a burst dam. Eight miners were rescued but others are unaccounted for and feared dead, as authorities struggled to drain water from the shafts.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa officially declared a state of disaster and pledged all available government resources for rescue efforts. According to many mining experts, the accident was entirely preventable. Augustine Makoni, a veteran of Zimbabwe’s gold mining industry who serves on the executive board of the Gold Mining Association of Zimbabwe, tells WPR in an interview that the mineshafts were left open when they should have been sealed. “The necessary reclamation of those shafts and closing them up—that was not done,” he says. “I then put the blame squarely on the regulatory and supervisory authority.” …
