As Zimbabwe marks Unity Day on 22 December, detractors are once again recycling the tired claim that ZANUPF is divided and unstable. The claim collapses on contact with reality. ZANUPF stands united, disciplined, and resolute – anchored in shared values, institutional strength, and an unwavering commitment to national development.
The Party’s cohesion is visible in its orderly programmes, mature leadership, and well-coordinated structures. Attempts by opposition figures and online commentators to manufacture internal divisions have failed completely, exposing not cracks within ZANUPF, but the political bankruptcy of its critics. Social-media noise has not translated into real influence, and it never will.
Equally telling were the loud predictions of chaos – including fabricated coup narratives and forecasts of instability ahead of the October 2025 Annual People’s Conference. Every one of these predictions collapsed in embarrassment. The Party emerged stronger, the Conference proceeded smoothly, and ZANUPF consolidated its position while its critics were left explaining imaginary crises that never materialised.
This is the source of growing opposition frustration and external agitation: ZANUPF continues to grow, attract new members, and command national relevance. Even members from other formations, including the CCC, are crossing over – not through coercion, but through conviction. Stability attracts; unity endures.
Unity Day is therefore more than a commemoration of the historic unity between ZANU and ZAPU. It is a living reminder that Zimbabwe’s strength lies in cohesion, shared purpose, and collective resolve. It affirms that national progress is built by those who unite, not those who divide.
Zimbabweans are called upon to reject misinformation and manufactured discord. The task is nation-building, not noise-making. ZANUPF remains united, focused, and forward-moving – and with that unity as its foundation, Zimbabwe’s future remains secure, purposeful, and unstoppable.
