ZANU-PF's Harare branch is basically handing out cash to members next year. The provincial Political Commissar, Voyage Dambuza, laid out a loan scheme starting with a grand per person for business projects, all interest-free for three months. This comes from a bigger two-million-dollar pot alongside a separate fund for parliamentarians. The areas of Glen View South, Mt Pleasant, and Harare East, which the party recently won back, will see this rollout. Dambuza named business figures like Kudakwashe Tagwirei, Taka Mashonganyika, Joachim Chivhayo, and Pritchard Sibanda as being brought into party structures.

This funding push is part of a larger plan to strengthen the party's organization. They want to restructure at the cell level and strengthen all committees after recruiting loads of new people. Dambuza claimed they pulled in fifty thousand members from opposition groups through a specific program. He also pointed to packed inter-district meetings across all six zones in Harare as proof that their mobilization efforts are working, saying they attracted a large number of first-time voters. The whole play is about solidifying their base with economic incentives and structural overhauls.
