Chihuri dismisses resignation rumours

Police commissioner-general Augustine Chihuri has quashed raging rumours that he has resigned from his post by appearing at the pass out parade of 554 police graduates at Morris Police Depot in Harare yesterday.

The social media was awash with stories that Chihuri had left his post under pressure from Zanu-PF hawks who accuse him of belonging to a faction aligned to vice president Joice Mujuru.

In the last few weeks, there have been incessant calls by party supporters opposed to Mujuru for all her perceived allies both in Zanu-PF and government to resign before the ruling party's December congress.
