Kasukuwere is reckless, national security threat - former Minister

Zanu PF political commissar, Saviour Kasukuwere has been accused of posing a security threat to the country for merely issuing statements while out of the country.

The Zanu PF political commissar issued a statement from Mexico directly to Midlands province blocking Pearson Mbalekwa from representing the ruling party in the Chiwundura constituency by-election.

Former War Veterans minister Christopher Mutsvangwa said Kasukuwere is reckless.

"Why does Tyson (Kasukuwere) issue a statement from a foreign country?

"There ought to be an acting political commissar in his absence.

"What if Kasukuwere has been kidnapped in a foreign land and is under duress?" he said as reported by Newsday.

State-controlled Herald today said Zanu-PF organs and affiliate organisations hinted that Kasukuwere behaviour risks affecting preparations for next years' elections.

They said Kasukuwere, who was rejected by nine of the party's ten provinces, continued to sow seeds of division in the party by making unilateral decisions yet he should have recused himself from commissariat business until his case is dealt with by the Politburo.
