Zanu-PF accommodates securocrats

Zanu-PF has made provisions to accommodate members of the State security sector to campaign in its primary elections, according to regulations drafted by the party politburo.

The waiver comes at a time when a number of members of the Central Intelligence Organisation, the police and army have reportedly declared interest in contesting on behalf of the party.

According to a draft of the party's primary elections regulations to be finalised when the politburo meets this week, a waiver would be applied on a member "prevented from holding a position in a any of the structures of the party by virtue of his/her employment in the service of State."
