Pemhenayi had a tough time last year under ex-Manicaland Provincial Affairs minister Mandiitawepi Chimene, who accused him of being aligned to Mnangagwa.
At one point, he was chased from a provincial co-ordinating committee meeting by Chimene for allegedly supporting Mnangagwa. He has also rolled out poultry projects in 10 wards for women in the constituency.
