War vets to boycott Zanu-PF conference

War veterans aligned to the Christopher Mutsvangwa led executive have vowed to snub the forthcoming Zanu-PF conference to be held in Masvingo next week, as their relations with the ruling party continue to deteriorate.

ZNLWVA spokesperson Douglas Mahiya confirmed the development yesterday saying this would be the first time war veterans have boycotted such a key event.

He said Zanu-PF had lost relevance because those remaining in the party were devoid of the values and ethos of the armed struggle.
