Warring Zanu-PF continues to burn

Many perceived sympathiser of former VP Joice Mujuru, at least for now, are concentrating their efforts on farming as they desperately endeavour to evade the ruling party's increasingly anarchic politics.

This information emerged yesterday as Zanu-PF battles more mindless bloodletting in the Matabeleland provinces, with police having to be called to a Matabeleland South provincial coordinating committee meeting in Gwanda to quell disturbances that erupted there.

The chaos ensued after prominent party members, who were "suspended" ahead of the party's damp squib "elective" congress in Harare late last year, somehow attended the tense meeting and later flatly refused to leave the gathering when prompted to do so.

The members only left the meeting reluctantly after police arrived at the venue and forced them out.

And as this chaos was playing itself out, the anarchy devouring Zanu-PF in Matabeleland North province continued unabated, amid reports that new party commissar Saviour Kasukuwere is set to visit the region this week to try and resolve worsening infighting there.
