Zanu PF has warned some provincial leaders against creating chaos through arbitrary suspension of other party cadres in violation of a standing Politburo resolution which barred structures from making unilateral suspensions and issuing prohibition orders.
In an interview yesterday, Zanu PF spokesperson Cde Christopher Mutsvangwa said the party had noted some provincial leaders were making arbitrary and unilateral suspensions of other party members.
He warned that this conduct was in violation of the Politburo’s resolution.
Cde Mutsvangwa, who is also the Veterans of the Liberation Struggle Minister, said some party provinces, including Harare, should uphold discipline as party cadres and avoid fueling chaos.
“There is a Politburo standing resolution against arbitrary actions such as suspensions or issuing of prohibition orders by structures. That resolution still stands: it has not been varied, altered or amended,” said Cde Mutsvangwa.
“We are a party of discipline and order and not wapusa wapusa. We urge our party cadres to maintain discipline and focus on building the party.”
Zanu PF Harare province had seen some party cadres issued with prohibition orders by the provincial leadership.
Some of the affected party cadres included Cde Loreen Vengesai, who is the deputy secretary for lands and resettlement in the Women’s League, and Cde Elizabeth Munyeri, secretary for finance in the provincial women’s league.
The prohibition orders stopped party cadres from exercising their designated official work until their cases were finalised.
Cde Mutsvangwa said the party was currently preoccupied with strengthening itself in the context of by elections ordered for December 9.
The ruling party has asserted its dominance in the country’s political landscape when its Presidential candidate in the August 23 2023 harmonised elections and First Secretary, President Mnangagwa trounced CCC candidate, Mr Nelson Chamisa.
The ruling party won in four constituencies in Harare province where the opposition had previously dominated: Harare South, Mbare, Epworth South and Hunyani.
The polls were certified as free and fair by several countries, local and international organisations including South Africa’s ruling African National Congress which send high ranking party official led by secretary general, Mr Fikile Mbalula.
