A new political outfit called the Zimbabwe Empowerment Movement (ZEM) has been formed. Garikai Musanonoka Sithole, who claims to be son to the late Zanu Ndonga leader, Reverend Ndabaningi Sithole, with another woman, not Vesta, leads the party.
Sithole (39) of Masvingo's Rujeko suburb, is a retired solider.
He said preparations for ZEM's inaugural congress were at an advanced.
The congress will be held in Bulawayo next month. Sithole said ZEM sought to fight corruption. He said existing political parties, including the ruling zanu-PF, had failed to tackle corruption.
He said the party was going to contest in the 2018 elections.
ZEM has since started distributing fliers in Masvingo with Mr Sithole's face as the party's president and presidential candidate for the 2018 elections. Sithole said his party's colours were red, yellow and black.
