CONTENTS F I, J 0 N G WEI EDITORIAL The Road to progress: Correct Leadership The road to progress and development for our young nation, Zimbabwe, is not and should not be a difficult one. The course was clearly charted by the Second Congress of our party in 1984, when it introduced the Leadership Code, and the twelve binding resolutions on socio-economic issues. The Leadership Code limits the economic activities of all leaders at district, provincial and national levels to what is necessary to sustain themselves and their families only.

The President and First Secretary, Comrade Robert Mugabe, has rightly described the newly-rich, those who have used their political positions to amass property and wealth, as daylight robbers and traitors to the cause for which the bitter war of national liberation was fought and won. Robbery of the national wealth, either by day or by night, cannot be permitted in a socialist state. It leads inevitably to curruption and stagnation in the national leadership, and eventually to demoralisation of the broad masses who support the party, and have confidence in it. When we speak of the national leadership we mean elected as well as appointed officials at district, provincial, and national levels in both party and government, and to some extent even to nationals in the private sector. Radical Transformation The second step on the road to continuing progress of our young nation, is the process of economic planning and management. We should now have an industrial strategy that aims at the indigenisation of the national economy. At independence we inherited an economy that was owned, controlled, and managed by foreigners and foreign interests. The situation should be changed. Indigenisation and/or localisation of the national economy is and should be a major objective of our Government and our Party. However, such indigenisation does not mean the removal of white managers of the same firms, factories or companies and putting in black or brown ones. Those who think like
