“I confirm that I have left the MDC-T and joined Zanu PF. That is all I can say,” she said.

Other opposition members who have crossed the floor to the ruling Zanu PF party include former Harare deputy mayor Emmanuel Chiroto and his Marondera counterpart Farai Nyandoro.

Nyandoro yesterday confirmed that a number of opposition members were joining Zanu PF saying: “A number of people now believe in the new dispensation, hence the influx to join Zanu PF from the opposition groupings.”
