President Emmerson Mnangagwa is reportedly angry with Zanu-PF’s dismal performance in his own backyard of Kwekwe, where the party failed to win in two recent by-elections.
The ruling party lost Kwekwe Central which was won by Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) candidate Judith Tobaiwa ahead of John Mapurazi of Zanu-PF, while the party’s Mbizo constituency candidate, Vongai Mupereri, was
beaten by CCC’s Settlement Chikwinya.
Former State Security Minister, Owen ‘Mudha’ Ncube, recently told party supporters in Kwekwe that Mnangagwa was livid with the losses.
“I want to tell you this, that not only the party, but also the President is unhappy with the by-election results. The President is displeased that the party lost Kwekwe Central and Mbizo,” Ncube said.
He added that the loss should be taken seriously and remedied.
The feared former minister further accused some party members of sabotaging the party leading to the loss.
“You are the ones who caused us to lose. How do you explain a situation whereby, in Mbizo three quarters of the people who voted were Zanu-PF members, but the party went on to lose,” charged Ncube.
