LOCAL Government minister July Moyo has been accused of meddling in the affairs of Chitungwiza municipality after he suspended six Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) councillors while taking sides with Zanu PF acting mayor, Kiven Mutimbanyoka.

Moyo suspended former Chitungwiza mayor Lovemore Maiko, former deputy mayor Musa Makweza, council chief whip (CCC) Richard Chamutsa and councillors Kudakwashe John, Peter Matiringe and Chengetai Magondo on Monday.

They were accused of convening an “illegal” meeting which reinstated Maiko last Friday.
