Zanu PF chef in soup over army brutality remarks

MIDLANDS senator Maybe Mbowa, who is also a senior Zanu PF official and women’s league commissar, is in soup after she exposed cases of army brutality for which she will likely be dragged before the ruling party’s national disciplinary committee.

Sources in the ruling party yesterday said the party’s national chairperson Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri, who is also Defence minister, was tasked with looking into the matter, following recommendations made by the Zanu PF Gokwe North district co-ordinating committee (DCC) that she should be demoted from party positions and be recalled from Parliament.

In February, the Midlands senator unwittingly exposed human rights violations by the military in social media posts.
