Murewa South vows to dump Zanu PF candidate

ZANU PF supporters in Murewa South have written to President Emmerson Mnangagwa informing him that they will not vote for the party’s preferred parliamentary candidate, Joel Biggie Matiza whom they accused of fraudulently winning the primary elections held in May.

In the letter which was copied to other top party officials including Vice-Presidents Constantino Chiwenga and Kembo Mohadi, national commissar Engelbert Rugeje and chairperson Oppah Muchinguri, the activists said they would instead vote for Noah Mangondo, an independent candidate.

Mangondo lost to Matiza in the disputed internal polls that was marred by irregularities, including the use of “corrupted police officers” as presiding officers.
