Zanu-PF Mash Central executive members to appear before disciplinary committee for demonstrating against Kasukuwere and Mafios

Zanu-PF Mashonaland Central secretary for administration Wonder Mashange yesterday said the province had set in motion processes to discipline executive members, among them deputy provincial chairperson, Kazembe Kazembe, for flouting party procedures, among a number of allegations of misconduct.

Mashange said the decision was reached at the party’s provincial executive committee (PEC) meeting held in Bindura on Monday which was reportedly attended by 82 out of the 120 members, who form the PEC. Thirty-five youth executives were also in attendance, according to the register seen by NewsDay. The meeting came after Kazembe and seven other executive members namely; Remigious Matangira, George Makunde, Glovas Dzapasi, Christopher Chitindi, Jonah Ngwenya, Alfred Mafunga and one Nyamadzawo, held their own meeting last Tuesday to allegedly plot Kasukuwere and Mafios’ ouster.

Mashange said the Tuesday meeting was unconstitutional and did not follow Zanu PF procedure. He alleged many of the demonstrators were from other provinces, mostly Harare and also claimed the eight PEC members defied President Robert Mugabe who had ordered, through Home Affairs minister Ignatius Chombo, that the demonstration and meeting be stopped.
