The Party Cells

Party Cells serve as the foundational units of ZANU PF at the village and community level. They act as the vanguard of the Party, articulating local interests, channeling grassroots aspirations, and mobilizing members toward collective development efforts within their respective areas. Each Cell Executive Committee operates on a one-year term, ensuring dynamic leadership and continuous engagement.

The Branches

A Party Branch comprises ten foundational Cells and serves as the next tier of organizational structure within ZANU PF. Leadership at the branch level is determined through a democratic process: every two years, delegates from each of the ten Cells convene at a Branch Conference to elect the Branch Executive Committee. This structure ensures grassroots representation and continuity in leadership, reinforcing the Party's commitment to participatory governance and community-driven development.

The Districts

A District within the Party is composed of ten Branches. Delegates from each Branch convene every two years to elect the District Executive Committee. This tier of leadership ensures coordinated governance and strategic alignment across multiple communities, reinforcing the Party's grassroots-driven structure and commitment to democratic participation.

District Coordinating Committee (DCC)

The District Coordinating Committee (DCC) is composed of elected representatives drawn from Party branches. Its membership reflects the three core components of ZANU PF: the main wing, the Women's League, and the Youth League. This structure ensures inclusive representation and coordinated leadership across all levels of the Party's grassroots and strategic operations.

The Provinces

A Province within the Party encompasses all Administrative Districts located in that geographic region, along with every Party District operating therein. Leadership at the provincial level is determined through elections held once every three years during the Provincial Conference. Delegates from each Party District participate in this process to elect members of the Provincial Executive Council. This structure ensures broad-based representation and strategic coordination across the province, reinforcing ZANU PF's commitment to democratic governance and regional development.

The National Consultative Assembly

The National Consultative Assembly serves as a high-level advisory body within ZANU PF. Its membership includes current members of the Central Committee, the National Assembly of the Women's League and their deputies, all ten Provincial Executive Councils, and former Central Committee members recognized for their contributions to the liberation struggle or post-independence national development.

Convened at least twice annually, the Assembly deliberates on major policy matters as determined by the President and First Secretary or the Central Committee. It functions as a forum for strategic dialogue and policy review, offering recommendations to the Central Committee on issues affecting both the Party and the government. This structure ensures continuity, institutional memory, and inclusive input into national decision-making.

The Central Committee

The Central Committee serves as the principal organ of the Party Congress and is composed of 230 members selected from the Party's ten provinces nationwide. When Congress is not in session, the Central Committee assumes its mandate, executing all policies, resolutions, directives, decisions, and programs adopted by Congress. It functions as the Party's highest decision-making body between Congress sittings and convenes once every three months to deliberate on strategic matters and oversee implementation.

The Politburo

The Politburo functions as the standing committee of the Central Committee, tasked with executing all decisions, directives, rules, and regulations issued by the Central Committee. It convenes at least once a month and remains fully accountable to the Central Committee on all matters of Party governance and strategic implementation.

Historically, the Patriotic Front (PF) emerged as a political and military alliance between ZAPU and ZANU during the liberation struggle against white minority rule in Rhodesia, now known as Zimbabwe. This alliance played a pivotal role in unifying efforts toward national independence and laid the foundation for the post-liberation political landscape.
