Olivia Muchena, 4 others ousted

Olivia Muchena and four other Zanu-PF Women's League national executive have been booted out from their party posts on allegations of abuse of power and fanning factionalism.

Muchena, who was secretary for commissariat, together with secretary for legal affairs Abigail Damasane, as well as Nyasha Chikwinya, who is secretary for information, were booted out after an executive meeting held at the party's headquarters unanimously agreed they were guilty of abuse of office and fanning factionalism.

All the members present appended their signatures.

Also ousted were secretary for indigenisation Albertina Bwititi and Elizabeth Shongedza.

Outgoing secretary for Women's Affairs Oppah Muchinguri said the list will be forwarded to the national disciplinary committee which is chaired by ambassador Simon Khaya Moyo for onward submission to the politburo for final endorsement.

Shuvai Mahofa who is secretary for security in the women's league said the image of the women's wing had been tarnished by the ousted national executive.

The women's league national executive also passed a vote of no confidence in the women's league deputy director Elizabeth Gwazemba for ‘abusing party funds', in addition to allegations of maladministration.

The women's league recommended that Gwazemba be redeployed to the pool with immediate effect.
