Kasukuwere survives ouster, sneak out of meeting

Underfire Zanu PF national commissar, Saviour Kasukuwere on Wednesday survived what looked  like a clear sacking from his post.

Zanu PF Mashonaland Central provincial executive  failed to substantiate their claims that he had formed parallel provincial party structures to topple President Robert Mugabe.

Zanu PF had sent a probe team to Bindura yesterday led by  Speaker of Parliament Jacob Mudenda.

 Several Zanu PF provinces  and structures had passed vote of no confidence on Kasukuwere demanding his immediate removal.

After the meeting,  Kasukuwere sneaked out after the meeting, NewsDay reported.

Mudenda said: "The comrades gave candid responses and we noted that. I am not at liberty to give you the final observation from the committee.

"My team should finish the report by mid next week and we shall share with those who matter."

 However, provincial war veterans' chairperson, Sam Parirenyatwa said the meetings was stage managed.

"This was a G40 arrangement, which was stage-managed and we are surprised to realise there is now a constitution to be followed, yet all along people were being fired left right and centre without the constitution,"

"Now it is Kasukuwere and everyone else wants to bring in the constitution to protect him. In any event, the people have spoken

countrywide and things will never be the same again for him. We know most of the people there were hired to stage-manage the said position of Mash Central.

"The chairman didn't want anyone opposed to Kasukuwere to speak. War veterans were chased out and it appears he brought his people to defend his position."

Police  had to use fired teargas to disperse scores of party members after the meeting.
