Mutsvangwa backs Tungwarara for Zanu PF post

Zanu PF national spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa has expressed support for the nomination of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s investment adviser Paul Tungwarara by the party’s Manicaland provincial leadership to the influential central committee.

The provincial leadership late last year nominated Tungwarara to replace Dorothy Mabika, who was elected party provincial chairwoman. However, the nomination was dismissed by Zanu PF national commissar Munyaradzi Machacha in a letter addressed to the province, saying the nomination had violated party procedure.
