Mugabe to preside over Zanu-PF Congress despite Central Committee decision to fire him

President Robert Mugabe said that he will preside over Zanu-PF’s coming Extraordinary Congress scheduled for 18 December. Mugabe appeared to ignore the decision by Zanu-PF’s Central Committee to fire him and reduce him to a card carrying member.

He said that the pertinent issues will be resolved at the forthcoming Zanu-PF Congress. Said Mugabe:

Indeed, all these matters will be discussed and settled at the forthcoming Congress, within the framework of a clear roadmap that seeks to resolve once and for all any omissions or contradictions that have affected our party negatively. The Congress is due in a few weeks from now. I will preside over its processes which must not be prepossessed by any acts calculated to undermine it or to compromise its outcomes in the eyes of the public.
