New cracks emerge in Zanu-PF

NEW cracks have emerged in Zanu-PF with knives out for the Deputy Minister of ICT Winmore Mlambo who stands accused of fanning factionalism, de-campaigning party leadership, intimidation and causing disharmony in his Chipinge stronghold.

A petition against Mlambo which was addressed to the new Zanu-PF Manicaland political "godmother" Oppah Muchinguri was handed over to the party leadership on Friday in Chipinge at a meeting presided over by the party's secretary for legal affairs Patrick Chinamasa.

Mlambo appears to have fallen out of favour with his colleagues after he recently organised demonstrations against Buhera South legislator Joseph Chinotimba when the war veterans' leader allegedly grabbed a lucrative macadamia nuts farm in his constituency.

Zanu-PF officials who attended the meeting said that Mlambo was sorrowful and apologetic during the meeting.

But when contacted for comment, the ICT deputy minister said he would not stop working towards eliminating corruption.
