ZANU PF Bulawayo provincial chairperson Calistus Ndlovu yesterday said the party had lifted the suspension of two officials after the politburo declared the move unprocedural.

Provincial secretary for finance Simon Khabo and his transport and welfare counterpart Langelihle Mathe were suspended by former acting chairperson Killian Sibanda’s previous executive.
But Zanu PF national chairperson Simon Khaya Moyo last week called on the party’s expanded provincial executive to revisit the suspensions as some of them were illegal.
Khaya Moyo was addressing journalists after unveiling Ndlovu as the new provincial chairperson to the Bulawayo Zanu PF provincial executive.
He took over from Sibanda, who is now his deputy.
“All suspensions that were in Zanu PF before I became chairperson have all fallen off, no one is under suspension now,” Ndlovu told NewsDay.
Mathe and Khabo are believed to have triggered violent clashes in the Bulawayo provincial structures at the beginning of March resulting in the arrest of five youths.

Some party officials wanted to pass a vote of no confidence on Sibanda early last month following the suspensions.
The vote of no confidence failed because of the violence, prompting the Zanu PF politburo to send Khaya Moyo, secretary for administration Didymus Mutasa and national commissar Webster Shamu on a fact-finding mission.
