Zanu (PF) vowed to pursue its empowerment programmes and promised to stimulate economic growth if it won the next elections.
"We have managed as a country over the last three decades to implement revolutionary change of national politics. Now we must use the lessons of that experience to implement revolutionary change of our national economy to empower our own people once and for all," the party said in the manifesto.
According to the manifesto, the party will lower and control the interest rates, control the price of basic commodities, resolve gender concerns and accelerate infrastructural development.
The manifesto claims land was given to priority groups including communal peasants, war veterans and collaborators, former political prisoners and detainees, young agricultural graduates and other professionals, the document said. It said that the party would pursue youth empowerment and participation in the national economy
through the empowerment programme that seeks to grab 51 percent shareholding in foreign firms.
It said that the party would, after the elections, do away with the Lancaster House Constitution and replace it with a home-grown constitution, taking into account relevant views made by people during the Constitutional outreach programme.
Anniversary party
Elsewhere this weekend, thousands of people last flocked to Gwanzura Stadium to celebrate the 12th anniversary of Tsvangirai's MDC party.
The ceremony kicked off at 10am on Saturday and was divided into two parts: the first an awards ceremony and the second a music concert.
Among those honoured for their contribution to the MDC were Grace Kwinjeh, a veteran MDC activist, who was honoured in absentia for coining the name Movement for Democratic Change; party leader Morgan Tsvangirai who was distinguished for his leadership and courage; Ernest Mudavanhu, who was recognised for crafting the party slogan and Chinja Maitiro and Guqula Izenzo.
Manicaland and Masvingo provinces were given special recognition for having the highest number of MDC legislators, while Binga won special recognition for consistently voting for the MDC without equivocation since 2000.
More than 1,000 MDC security details provided security at the rally. The MDC rejected state police protection, saying they had lost confidence in the partisan law enforcement agency.
Musicians Allan Chimbetu, Hosiah Chipanga and Sebastain Magacha thrilled the crowd in the afternoon.
