Sources who attended Wednesday’s meeting said the leadership wanted its members in the Copac management committee to explain the discrepancies.
Politburo members said the management committee should have ensured the draft did not deviate from what was captured during the outreach programme.
The party, which said it was close to finding common ground on sticky issues in the draft Constitution, would finalise its position at another meeting slated for next Wednesday.
Zanu-PF spokesperson Cde Rugare Gumbo yesterday said: “There are areas they (Copac) did not deal with candidly. We want the Constitution to reflect some of those values.

Don’t change players, change the game!
