BABWE NEWS DECEMBER, 1991, Zimbabwe News Official Organ of ZANU PF Editor: Michael Munyati o~Ak~ o~6te~ Y~6te$~ c~ ~ ~e~4 ~ Dear Editor I would be glad if my letter is published in your Magazine. When ZAIN4U PF came to power, one of the major goals it set out for itself was to estab. lish among its rank - and filea a Code of Conduct or what is also known as the Leadership Code if I can correctly recall, this was done at its Se. cond Congress iPartyl held at Botiowdale Race Course in Harare it 1984 The Leadership Code, as I understood it was intended to curb members of the Party from avariciously or greedily amassing property. Apparently events have shown that this was a failure. What really concerns me nowlis that although it was agreed as to how Party members should con. duct themselves, especially those in positions of, authority, it is suprising for me to hear now that there is need to modify this same Code of Conduct. What has all of a sudden called for this "turnabout of inner- party discipline? I personally believe that those people who go against established Party rules are not genuine They are wolves in sheep's clothing, no matter what position they hold in the Party or goveinmtent What really went wrong in the first place with the Code of Conduct? Does it really need to be modified? How can we the Povo be assured beyond any reasonable doubt that this proposed Code of Conduct will not need to be modified again?

It was a year i which politcal rallies died a natural death. I iddressed no single political rally, whether national, provincial or any other. The Vice Presidents like me had also a complete year's holiday.
