The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Zimbabwe, led by its president Innocent Ndibali has written to President Emmerson Mnangagwa and ZanuPF central committee proposing a series of development initiatives aimed at transforming the country’s socio-economic landscape.
In a letter dated 29 October 2025 and addressed to the party’s headquarters in Harare, Ndibali outlined a comprehensive plan focused on education, employment, agriculture, health and social welfare.
The letter was also copied to members of the Zanu PF central committee.
Ndibali said EFF believes in collective action and collaboration with the ruling party to drive meaningful change in Zimbabwe.
“As the President of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), I believe that collaboration and collective effort are essential in driving our country forward,” wrote Ndibali.
Among the key initiatives proposed are free primary and secondary education, including school uniforms for all learners to ensure equal access to learning opportunities. The EFF also called for a job seeker’s allowance of at least US$150 per month for graduates and unemployed citizens to provide a financial safety net while they look for work.
To promote regional integration, Ndibali urged the government to push for free movement of people, goods and services within the SADC region.
The EFF further proposed a “One Family, One Farm” policy aimed at boosting food security and agricultural productivity, as well as a grant program for teenage mothers to help them continue their education while caring for their children.
Other recommendations include a monthly grant for senior citizens aged 70 and above, the introduction of free and accessible public transport—including disability-friendly buses and ensuring that all government clinics operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week to improve access to healthcare.
In what may be seen as a significant political gesture, Ndibali said the EFF Zimbabwe is prepared to support the extension of President Mnangagwa’s term in office in exchange for the government’s consideration of the proposals.
“I believe that our collective efforts can drive meaningful change and development in Zimbabwe,” Ndibali concluded, expressing his willingness to engage in further dialogue with the ruling party.
The letter marks a rare call for partnership between an opposition-aligned movement and the ruling Zanu PF, potentially signaling a new era of political cooperation centered on national development.
