ZANU-PF secretary for administration Didymus Mutasa has thrown himself in murky waters after presiding over a Manicaland Provincial Coordinating Committee meeting that defied the Politburo directive to stop campaigning before regulations for the party's elective congress are tabled.

President Mugabe last week condemned high levels of indiscipline characterising the party and warned leaders sowing seeds of division and engaging in premature campaigning for positions ahead of the congress set for December to desist from doing so.

But Mutasa who was at the meeting and accepted nomination as national chairman in a line-up that has President Mugabe as President and First Secretary of the Party, Joice Mujuru as Vice President and Second Secretary, and Simon Khaya Moyo as Second Vice President.

Zanu-PF spokesperson Rugare Gumbo last week told the media after the Politburo meeting that stern measures would be taken against anyone who defied the President's directive.

But PCC members who attended the meeting dismissed the resolutions as a farce saying they had not come from the PCC nor the party districts as those behind them wanted people to believe.

Mutasa declined to comment on the matter yesterday while Gumbo professed ignorance about the PCC resolution in Manicaland.
