HARARE, June 25 (Xinhua) -- Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has reiterated his party Zanu-PF's total commitment to the inclusive government despite concerted efforts by the West to divide the parties involved, The Herald said on Thursday.

    Western governments visited by Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai have refused to either lift sanctions imposed against Zimbabwe and Zanu-PF officials or fund the inclusive government directly, choosing to channel resources to non-governmental organizations in a bid to create divisions.

    Mugabe noted that his Zanu-PF party had gone into the coalition without abandoning or sacrificing its principles and its hallmark as a people-oriented party.

    "Certainly, and as has been made clear, being in the inclusive Government does not mean the abandonment of the land reform programme. The Zimbabwean land is for Zimbabweans. Others can only be recipients of it if we, Zimbabweans, say so. We have said this again and again!" he said.

    Mugabe reminded white farmers trying to be mischievous that land reform was irreversible. "It is a process that is legal and was recognized at Lancaster House in 1979," he said.

    "The Global Political Agreement which has created the inclusive Government states emphatically that the land reform is irreversible. So no tricks, antics or gimmicks aimed at changing the land acquisition programme will ever succeed," he said.

    Mugabe said the inclusive government was working to improve the economic situation since its formation and had set itself some targets and projections.

    He said one of the objectives of the inclusive government was to achieve peace among Zimbabweans and the Organ for Peace and Reconciliation was set up to achieve that purpose.

    "We are expected to relate well as Zimbabweans with common interests and a common future," he said.

    Mugabe noted a significant improvement in the availability of goods on the market and a good 2008-2009 agricultural season that has resulted in improved food supplies.

    He said while these signs gave the government some encouragement, it remained concerned that the majority of people were still finding it difficult to sustain themselves.

    "The inclusive government must, therefore, move fast in finding ways and means to remunerate its workers meaningfully. But this should be possible with a quick enough economic recovery," Mugabe said.

    He once again called for the immediate lifting of sanctions and challenged MDC-T "to be unambiguous" in calling for their removal.

    "I hope that Prime Minister Tsvangirai's visit to Europe and the United States has provided him with a good opportunity to appeal strongly for the removal of sanctions," the President said.

    He challenged the inclusive government to come up with a new Constitution in accordance with the Kariba Draft within 24 months of its formation while challenging the Zanu-PF Central Committee to educate people on the contents of the draft document.

    "We should accordingly educate ourselves about the contents of the Kariba Draft Constitution and explain it to our people as well as asking them their own views on it. We should properly educate our people so as to enable them to make informed decisions," he said.

    Mugabe, who sat with Zanu-PF secretary for administration Didymus Mutasa at the high table, told the Central Committee that Vice President Joice Mujuru was attending a United Nations summit on the global financial and economic crisis in New York while Vice President Joseph Msika was unwell.

    Zanu-PF should undergo renewal and revamping if it is to regain its vibrancy and revolutionary spirit, Mugabe told the Central Committee on Wednesday.

    Speaking at the 76th Ordinary Session of the Central Committee at the party's headquarters in Harare, he said there was need to breathe new life into non-performing structures of the party.

    "On a different level, and as the situation illustrates in some of our party structures, it is imperative that the party undergoes renewal and revamping," Mugabe said.

    "In some places, we need to breathe new life into affected and non-performing structures, right from the grassroots." He said that in the renewal process, Zanu-PF should imbibe a new sense of purpose and a dynamism that gives it versatility and adaptation to evolving politics of the present time," Mugabe said.

    "This has to happen if the party is to regain its vibrancy and characteristic revolutionary spirit. The Central Committee, which provides key and central leadership to the party, is being charged as before with this urgent responsibility of having to re-energise and re-invigorate the party," he said.

    Mugabe said the Central Committee, as the custodian of the party, should be "filled with the desire to revive the needed revolutionary spirit of the party".

    He urged Central Committee members to shun vices like corruption, selfishness, divisiveness and jealousy, saying these worked adversely against the party.

    Mugabe said Zanu-PF was a people's party whose unfailing duty was to defend the people and their welfare.

    He challenged the Central Committee to explain to the people important developments arising in the party and the country like clarifying the meaning and functions of the inclusive Government and Zanu-PF's role in it.

    "Many people seem to have the wrong notion that Zanu-PF has been swallowed in the inclusive Government. It is your responsibility to correct this erroneous notion," he said.
