Mrs Mutinhiri was initially suspended from Zanu-PF on the same charges, but appealed against the decision to the party’s national chairman Cde Simon Khaya-Moyo.
In her appeal, she claimed to have conducted herself “with dignity and honour and never brought the party into disrepute and ridicule.”
Cde Gumbo said the Politburo also discussed disciplinary cases involving former Zanu-PF Mashonaland West provincial chairman Cde John Mafa and Cde Jamai Mudhuvuri and the cases were referred back to the province.

He said according to the briefing by Cde Mangwana, the actual drafting of the constitution could start on September 15 this year.
