Zanu PF bigwigs thrown under the bus

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa has reportedly blocked attempts by party bigwigs to ring-fence their current posts ahead of the ruling party’s central committee elections tomorrow.

The bigwigs, Zanu PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa, secretary for transport and welfare Edna Madzongwe, secretary for science and technology Ziyambi Ziyambi, deputy secretary for health and child care Douglas Mombeshora, former Finance Minister Patrick Chinamasa and Defence minister Oppah Muchinguri were allegedly claiming that there was a resolution that they should not be contested.

It appears only Mnangagwa and his deputies Constantino Chiwenga and Kembo Mohadi will not be contested.
