Members of institutions are expected to cover the cost of attending Midlands State University’s orientation on January 23 and 24.

Hopewell Chin’ono, a critic of the government, said of the development, “This only shows that the government’s priorities were misplaced.”
“In just three days, academics participating in a Zanu PF indoctrination program have wasted US$65,000 in public funds.
“Two maternity theaters could be built with the same amount. “In 42 years, ZANUPF has not built a single maternity theater at Zimbabwe’s largest hospital, but it does this,” he stated in a tweet.
After officers were instructed to attend the civic education meetings coordinated by the Zanu PF party as part of its indoctrination program, it was recently reported that morale in the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) was at its lowest point. This was the result of the order.
According to reports, police officers are currently undergoing civic education training in which Zanu PF leaders will educate them on the party’s ideology and urge them to vote for the ruling party.
Pastors working under Pastors for ED are also expected to receive the same training, according to reports.
Pastors for ED National Chairperson Idiraishe Dongo claims that the Chitepo School of Ideology will provide training to over 10,000 Zimbabwean pastors.
She stated that the initiative aims to cultivate patriotic pastors.
