BEHAVE or else you will follow Rugare Gumbo, Sikhanyiso Ndlovu warned

BULAWAYO - ZANU-PF politburo member, Sikhanyiso Ndlovu might be shown the door if he continues defending his allies who have been booted out, acting provincial chairperson George Mlala warned yesterday.
Mlala said Dr Ndlovu may face the same fate suffered by Rugare Gumbo who was last week suspended from the party for five years by the Zanu-PF politburo.
Addressing Bulawayo residents who marched in solidarity with the First Family at the City Hall car park, Mlala said Ndlovu was a senior member of the party and was required to act as such.
Mlala was responding to media reports that quoted Ndlovu dismissing a vote of no confidence passed on provincial chairman Professor Callistus Ndlovu and five members of his executive as "cantankerous" behaviour.
Ndlovu echoed Prof Ndlovu's claims that Mlala and his group forged signatures in Sunday's petition that deposed the top six members of the provincial leadership.
"We say to Ndlovu, please don't interfere in provincial affairs. It's the reason that got Gumbo kicked out, it's the reason that got Dzikamai Mavhaire in the position that he is in," said Mlala.
"If you're an elder, don't play soccer with youngsters because they will dribble you and you will be embarrassed. He must stop interfering (in provincial affairs)."
Mlala said as an elder, Dr Ndlovu knew very well how to handle party business rather than making unnecessary comments in the media. He said he was now in charge of the province and called on Ndlovu to stop misleading people.
Mlala said his executive had come up with a resolution urging Zanu-PF to amend its constitution in order to give President Mugabe powers to fill all positions at Congress.
In an interview, Mlala said on Saturday, Ndlovu met expelled war veterans' chairperson Jabulani Sibanda and some senior leaders from the province to discuss their plot to destabilise the party.
Ndlovu was urged to recuse himself from the disciplinary matter involving Prof Ndlovu and members of his executive after he instructed an accreditation team in Bulawayo to register the six claiming that their case had been thrown out.
He was also urged to shut up and allow party national chairman and interim spokesperson to speak on behalf of the party.
