Acting president Emmerson Mnangagwa has postponed a consultative meetings with Bulawayo residents today amid revelations that he is a busy man.
However, Mnangagwa is scheduled to attend a launch of a Zanu PF linked radio station -YA FM, in Zvishavane on Friday.
Mnangagwa was due to address various stakeholders today and both Large and Small City Halls had been booked for the meetings.
Bulawayo Metropolitan provincial administrator Khonzani Ncube confirmed the postponement.
"It has been moved to a later date. Remember he is a busy man. He will come when available. I have to find out the proper date," she said.
Business community, church leaders, residents' associations and civic society had been invited to the meetings, which civil society had threatened to boycott.
Residents say Mnangagwa avoided a potentially sticky situation, as some groups in the second city had threatened protests against the Vice-President over his remarks insinuating that the late Vice-President Joshua Nkomo was a "sell-out".
