Zanu-PF Threatens To Punish Members As Divisions Continue Over Primary Election Results

Zanu-PF Masvingo provincial chair Ezra Chadzamira threatened to punish members in Gutu East and Chiredzi West who have not accepted the outcome of the primary elections in the two constituencies.

In Gutu East, Mafios Mlambo’s supporters want a rerun. The primary election was won by the incumbent legislator Berita Chikwama. In Chiredzi West, incumbent Member of Parliament Darlington Chiwa is refusing to recognise the victory of former Tongaat Hulett director Farai Musikavanhu. Said Chadzamira:

We will not hesitate to take disciplinary action against party members who continue to live in the past and show bitterness over a process that has since passed. Primary elections are over and some were not happy with what happened, but we are now approaching elections, we need to put Zanu-PF interests first. Those who resist to unite with others will be punished because genuine party members are disciplined.
