A senior Zanu PF official, Evans Kamombo, yesterday declared that he has no animosity toward former army chief Anselem Sanyatwe, who had reported him to police for allegedly stealing his fertilizer.
Kamombo was disqualified from standing as the party's parliamentary candidate for Nyanga North constituency after he was slapped with a nine year jail sentence for theft at the Mutare Magistrates Court.
He wanted the seat from Nyanga North MP Chido Sanyatwe.
He was being accused of stealing fertilizer worth US$40 075 belonging to Zimbabwe's ambassador to Tanzania Anselem Sanyatwe.
The High Court quashed his conviction and he is now a free-man.
A High Court judge dismissed the matter after chief Witness Chido Sanyatwe failed to attend court to testify against him.
The judge ruled out that the complainant's wife, Chido should testify.
Kamombo is a former aide of Chido Sanyatwe.
