Real Zanu-PF faction emerges

Two Zanu-PF formations have emerged from the chaos that has rocked the party with ousted spokesperson Rugare Gumbo yesterday announcing he, together with his purged colleagues represented the leadership of the "real" Zanu-PF.

He branded the others led by President Robert Mugabe as the "2014 Zanu-PF".  

Gumbo said following the dismissal of former secretary for administration Didymus Mutasa and Mashonaland West provincial chairman Temba Mliswa from the party last week, it was clear that people with no liberation war credentials had taken over the party for selfish gains.

He said it was clear now that there was the "2014 Zanu-PF" born out of the "illegal December congress" and the Zanu-PF that stands for the democratic principles that they fought for.
