Moyo, Mahoka in hot water, accused of undermining Grace Mugabe

ZANU-PF women's league chairpersons from the Zimbabwe's 10 provinces descended on Bulawayo to reaffirm calls for the sacking of national executive members Nomthandazo Eunice Moyo and Sarah Mahoka following demonstrations in their respective areas.

Moyo and Mahoka are accused of undermining First lady and secretary of the women's league, Grace Mugabe and working against the President. They also accused the pair of corruption, insubordination and fanning factionalism.

The two are accused of embezzling funds sourced from local prophets, business people and corporates using Grace Mugabe's name without her knowledge.

The demonstrators were joined by members of the party's youth league, war veterans and war collaborators who all called for their expulsion.

Mahoka also stands accused of denigrating Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Presidential spokesperson George Charamba.

Mashonaland East provincial women's league chairperson Charity Manyeruke said all those opposed to the First lady were opposed to the women.

Matabeleland North provincial women's league chairperson Medeline Bhebhe said: "Why are you insulting the First Lady? Why are you disrespecting President Mugabe? We support the First Lady to lead us because we want to benefit from the projects that she has initiated in all parts of the country from irrigation, poultry and many empowerment initiatives," said Bhebhe.

Manicaland provincial women's league chairperson Estelle Muyambo said, "We are here to say that we won't stand and do nothing when our mother is being disrespected. We have seen it fit for Cdes Moyo and Mahoka to go."

"We will not allow any machinations against our mother, we will support her to lead us from Zambezi to Limpopo," said Midlands provincial secretary for administration Lydia Mataga.

They also called for Mahoka and Moyo's handlers to be fired or demoted.
