We have had enough of Kasukuwere’s dirty tricks

Local Government minister Saviour Kasukuwere’s blatant suspension of Harare mayor Bernard Manyenyeni for allegedly refusing to toe the line is uncalled for, reckless and smacks of hypocrisy.

While Manyenyeni also played into Kasukuwere and therefore Zanu PF’s ploy to sack all the Morgan Tsvangirai-led
MDC-T councils across the country, it was prudent to play it clean for the ruling party national commissar.

It is unfortunate that at a time Zimbabwe is supposed to be dealing with a myriad of challenges — including creating employment, service delivery and finding ways to grow the economy — Zanu PF firmly believes that the secret to prolong its stranglehold on power is only through suffocating democratic voices.
