Zanu PF violence: politburo descends on Manicaland

Zanu PF politburo members yesterday descended on Manicaland province to douse factional fights which have seen party members demonstrate against provincial chairperson Mike Madiro since Sunday.

The fact-finding team — which also included secretary for security Lovemore Matuke and youth leader Tendai Chirau — held a closed-door meeting with the warring factions at Marymount Teachers’ College in Mutare. Zanu PF Manicaland spokesperson Oliver Mandipaka refused to comment on the outcome of the meeting, accusing NewsDay of poking its nose into the ruling party’s internal affairs.
