PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe is set to fly into a storm as tensions are reaching boiling point in Zanu-PF, with Didymus Mutasa insisting he is still a member of the party and cannot be expelled by an illegal structure.
Reports indicated that Mugabe was due to arrive in the country last Friday from his year-end holiday, but indications are that he is not yet back.
Mutasa upped the ante at the weekend, saying he expected a response from Mugabe to a letter he and other axed Zanu-PF members sent to Sadc.
Mugabe is the chairman of the regional body and he will be expected to handle a grievance against himself and the party he leads.
The axed Zanu-PF secretary for administration wrote to Sadc leaders and the chairman about his grievances with the party and its conduct of the December congress.
"No, I have not yet received the response," he said.
"The response will come from the chairman of Sadc (Mugabe)."
Mutasa could not be drawn into speculating whether he foresaw Mugabe responding to his letter.
