Zanu-PF Mashonaland West provincial executive has overturned the suspension of Christopher Mutsvangwa and Hurungwe Senator Rueben Marumahoko on grounds that due process was not followed when they were suspended.
The two were suspended by the executive led by former chair Temba Mliswa for allegedly failing to attend meetings in contravention of the party's constitution, which states that members should not miss three consecutive sittings without giving notice.
Provincial secretary Kindness Paradza said the two were summarily dismissed by Mliswa without being afforded an opportunity to defend themselves.
The executive also lifted suspension of youth League chair Vengai Musengi who was suspended on allegations of impropriety.
Meanwhile, Temba Mliswa who was recently booted out as Mashonaland West chair has accepted the decision of the Politburo for him to leave office. He has pledged a smooth transition.
In communication to the provincial executive Mliswa said it was not his intention to offend anyone by using what others perceived as his overzealous management style. Mliswa said he would continue to serve the party and work for the good of the people in whatever capacity.
He said allegations of working with an American spy should be investigated so that he clears his name.
Mliswa was shown the exit by at least 28 of the 50 member strong provincial executive on allegations of bribery and bringing the name of the party into disrepute.
