Fresh turmoil erupts in Zanu-PF's Matabeleland provinces

Fresh turmoil erupted in Zanu PF's Matabeleland provinces with feuding factions openly clashing a few days ahead of the party's crucial annual conference in Bulawayo, Independent claimed.

This resulted in the party's Mat North chairman Zwelitsha Masuku being sacked last week for alleged incompetence. He was replaced by former chairman Headman Moyo.

There was also a storm in Bulawayo at the weekend provincial coordinating committee meeting where politburo and central committee gurus clashed over the prolonged suspension of the provincial women's league secretary Eve Bitu.

Bitu was fired for allegedly insulting Mat North governor Angeline Masuku at a party meeting about a year ago.
