Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>ZANU PF spokesperson, Christopher Mutsvangwa has dismissed reports of a rift between President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Buhera South legislator, Joseph Chinotimba.<\/p>\n

There were reports that the two are not in good books following Chinotimba\u2019s recent remarks that Mnangagwa intended to impose Ngonidzashe Mudekunye as the party\u2019s contestant in Parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n

In a letter dated May 16, addressed to the newly-appointed deputy secretary for youth affairs John Paradza, a ZANU PF youth-affiliated group Zimbabwe Revolutionary and Patriotic Youth Network said Chinotimba should be summoned and clarify his remarks.<\/p>\n

NewsDay Zimbabwe reports that Mutsvangwa yesterday rubbished claims of factionalism while defending Chinotimba saying he was a hard worker. He is cited as saying:<\/p>\n

Comrade Chinotimba is a hard worker and has a sound or solid relationship with the President. We are not worried about people who are against him.<\/p>\n

Chinotimba is said to have met with President Mnangagwa at State House where he allegedly apologised over his recent remarks.<\/p>\n

NewsDay Zimbabwe further reports that Buhera has seen the emergence of a young crop of politicians across all the three constituencies targeting parliamentary seats held by the party\u2019s old guard.<\/p>\n

The development has reportedly unnerved the old guard ahead of the ZANU PF 2023 primary elections.<\/p>\n
