Chief contests in Zanu PF primaries

A CHIEF in Mashonaland Central is in the eye of a storm after he allegedly contested the recent Zanu PF primary elections at a time traditional leaders are increasingly under pressure to stop being partisan in line with the country’s constitution.

An aspiring MDC-T candidate, Leman Pwanyiwa, has since written a letter to President Emmerson Mnangagwa to register his complaint against the Shamva South traditional leader, Chief Bramwell Bushu.

Through the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR), Pwanyiwa said he would approach the High Court for relief should he not get a response from Mnangagwa.
