War Veterans fire Grace Mugabe and allies from Zanu-PF

The Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association led by Christopher Mutsvangwa has fired first lady and women’s league leader Grace Mugabe from Zanu-PF. They have also fired her allies Jonathan Moyo, Phelekhezela Mphoko, Saviour Kasukuwere, Ignatius Chombo and Patrick Zhuwawo from the party with immediate effect. The War Veterans also fired President Robert Mugabe whom they accused of being deceitful.

The War Veterans also claim they have formed a Revolutionary Council (Dare Rechimurenga Chechina/ Inkundla Yomuzabalazo Owesine) to guide Zanu-PF in the interim. They invite progressive Zimbabweans and those who were constructively dismissed and, through frustration by the dictatorial leadership, had gone on to form or join other parties to join the Revolutionary Council.  Part of the press statement reads:

A Revolutionary Council (Dare Rechimurenga Chechina/ Inkundla Yomuzabalazo Owesine) has been formed to guide the Revolutionary Party in the interim. Our provincial structures, that had been destabilized by the G40 Cabal remain in force and are operational from the cell to the presidium. This includes the purportedly expelled youth chairpersons. We have opened our doors to all progressive Zimbabweans and those who were constructively dismissed and, through frustration by the dictatorial leadership, had gone on to form or join other parties. From now on, we concentrate on rebuilding our party. crafting a programme for inclusive economic growth and general socio-economic transformation. It is high time Zimbabwe recognized its full potential to the benefit of all its children.
