Grace Mugabe's rise claims first scalp

Zanu-PF internal fights  claimed their first scalp yesterday with the party's Harare provincial leadership suspending youth chairman Simbarashe Godwin Gomwe on charges of insubordination, although insiders claimed that he had been purged for backing First Lady Grace Mugabe's political ascendancy.

Gomwe was slapped with a 21 day suspension by the provincial disciplinary committee headed by Chitungwiza South MP Christopher Chigumba.
