ABOUT 381 Zanu-PF delegates from Bulawayo have been registered to represent the province at the party’s Congress that will be held in Harare from December 2 to 7.Addressing party members at Davies Hall on Sunday, the ruling party’s secretary for national security Cde Sydney Sekeramayi said Bulawayo province was supposed to be represented by 484 delegates at the Congress.
“To date about 381 delegates from Bulawayo have been accredited to attend the Congress in Harare. In total, the province should have 484 delegates and more will be accredited before the Congress kicks off,” said Cde Sekeramayi.
The party’s secretary for national security was in Bulawayo to announce to members the Politburo’s decision to reverse the vote of no confidence that had been passed on Bulawayo provincial chairperson Professor Callistus Ndlovu and five other provincial executive members by a group led by provincial secretary for business development and liaison Cde George Mlala on November 17.
Prof Ndlovu and his allies met two days later and passed a counter vote of no confidence on Cde Mlala, secretary for lands and resettlement, Cde Patson Parirenyatwa and deputy secretary for science and technology Cde Nacisio Makhulumo accusing them of fraudulently securing signatures to oust them.
The Politburo also reversed that decision.
This was after the party’s National Disciplinary Committee had noted that both groups led by Prof Ndlovu and Cde Mlala had forged signatures appended on petitions dismissing members from rival camps.
