Tagwirei Deemed Ineligible For ZANU PF Central Committee

ZANU PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa on Monday said businessman Kuda Tagwirei is not eligible to become a member of the Central Committee and will have to start the process from scratch if he still wants in.

Mutsvangwa told journalists in Harare that the party had reviewed a recent recommendation by Harare Province to co-opt Tagwirei into the Central Committee but found that he did not qualify.

The bid by Harare Province to support his co-optation into the powerful party organ was ultimately unsuccessful. Said Mutsvangwa:

The constitution is very clear as to how you can become a central committee member. Harare province may have had aspirations for him to become a central committee member…

The central committee was sitting and the tick box looked at for the eligibility of that person to be in the meeting.

The recommendations of Harare were assessed as to whether they satisfy that eligibility but sadly for Harare province it wasn’t the case, their bid to support him wasn’t successful.

Be that as it may, ZANU PF is a party of everybody including businesspeople. You can always go back and start again, and go through the processes and if you finally tick all the boxes you may find yourself a member of the central committee. But for the time being you don’t satisfy those conditions.

In ZANU PF you must persevere, some of us started at 17 or 19 and we are still there. We may have aspired for higher office along the way but 40 years later we’re still occupying humble positions because the party has a way of doing things.

If you love the party you don’t get discouraged, you return to the queue and who knows, next time you may be successful.
