Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>By James Muonwa, Mashonaland West Correspondent<\/b> –<\/p>\n

ZANU PF Mashonaland West is living to its billing as a political hotbed with internecine battles for control of provincial structures continuing unabated among party bigwigs.<\/p>\n

During Sunday\u2019s Zanu PF provincial coordinating committee (PCC) meeting held in Chinhoyi, Justice minister and Zanu PF politburo member, Ziyambi Ziyambi took aim at Provincial Affairs and Devolution minister, Mary Mliswa-Chikoka, for employing dirty tactics to land the party provincial chairman post.<\/p>\n

Without mentioning names, Ziyambi who was evidently agitated, accused Mliswa-Chikoka of abusing her privileged position and leaking party secrets to her brother, independent Norton legislator Temba Mliswa who denigrates party members on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome members take internal issues to their relatives, and these people comment as if they are members of Zanu PF. When you are analysing me as member of the politburo, what l say is a collective position. When you are analysing me as a member of cabinet and you criticise my action in parliament, you are criticising cabinet and its head who is the president,\u201d Ziyambi said.<\/p>\n

Ziyambi said remnants of the vanquished Generation 40, commonly referred to as G40, was strategically positioning itself to depose the incumbent leadership, including Mnangagwa.<\/p>\n

\u201cl have been following events and l hear money is exchanging hands. We have received a report, the majority of G40 people decided to stay in Zanu PF and fund provincial members so that those who were dormant take positions then challenge the president,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want genuine cadres of Zanu PF to be on the look out for these fake people and expose them and say this is their plan and come up with proper structures.\u201d<\/p>\n

Delegates at the meeting took turns to accuse Mliswa-Chikoka of being \u201cbig-headed\u201d and disrespecting senior party members who are routinely embarrassed at President Mnangagwa\u2019s events where they are sometimes barred from attending for not having official invitations which are coordinated by her office.<\/p>\n

At last Friday\u2019s graduation ceremony at Chinhoyi University of Technology (CUT) senior party leaders were harassed and embarrassed by state security agents who demanded invitation cards they were allegedly denied by Mliswa-Chikoka.<\/p>\n

Ziyambi threatened to clip the provincial minister\u2019s wings and warned her to stop the contemptuous behaviour but ensure protection than persecution of Zanu PF members.<\/p>\n

Through Article 12 of the party\u2019s constitution, the PCC turned into an elections directorate and resolved to postpone internal polls until finalisation of the ongoing restructuring of districts.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is better to complete the process of restructuring late and ensure we build a firm foundation using solid structures. We can always ask (Patrick) Chinamasa (Acting national political commissar) to allow us more time to build our structures which will see us emerging victorious in the 2023 elections,\u201d Ziyambi added.<\/p>\n

Recently, Youth League provincial chairman, Vengi Musengi also alleged Mliswa-Chikoka was abusing her office by inviting her brother to attend Zanu PF events despite the loquacious MP\u2019s blatant verbal attacks on Zanu PF members.<\/p>\n

Musengi barred the Norton MP from attending Mnangagwa\u2019s events.<\/p>\n

Musengi, Mliswa-Chikoka, acting Zanu PF provincial chairman Abie Mujeri, and Information deputy minister Kidness Paradza are rowing over the provincial chairmanship post in the upcoming internal elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
