Mutasa, Mliswa expelled from Zanu-PF

FORMER Zanu PF administration secretary Didymus Mutasa and his nephew Themba Mliswa - who was chairman for Mashonaland West province - have been expelled from the ruling party.

Announcing the far-reaching Politburo decisions, Zanu-PF Secretary for Information and Publicity, Simon Khaya Moyo said Mutasa and Mliswa were fired for indiscipline.

Mutasa was on record discrediting the 6th Zanu-PF Congress held last December, declaring its outcomes as null and void.

The disciplinary committee highlighted in its report the disparaging remarks by Mutasa against the party leadership and his utterances rubbishing the party's congress.

The committee treated Mutasa's case as unique and extraordinary, saying he continued to be unrepentant.

Former Zanu-PF Mashonaland West Provincial Chairman, Mliswa was dismissed on an array of charges ranging from insubordination and interfering with party meetings in his province.

The expulsion of the two from the party, their National Assembly seats have been declared vacant and by-elections can be held.

While it was a doom's day for Mutasa and Mliswa, others received good news after Mudzi South legislator, Jonathan Samkange; Bikita West member, Dr Munyaradzi Kereke and Daniel Garwe were re-admitted into the party.
