Zanu PF youths call for Lumumba’s ouster

Zanu PF youths in Harare have called on the Harare executive to fire Acie Lumumba from his provincial position over his recent public spat with Indigenisation minister Patrick Zhuwao, whom he alleged was corrupt.

In a video posted on social media, Lumumba claimed Zhuwao was trying to enrich himself through illegal dealings including demanding 3% of the Old Mutual stake in the Zimbabwe Youth Empowerment Fund.

But Zhuwao, who fired Lumumba from chairing the Zimbabwe Youth Empowerment Strategy for Investment, hardly a week after his appointment, has denied the allegations.
