Kasukuwere dismisses alleged rift with Mnangangwa

Zanu-PF national political commissar Saviour Kasukuwere has dismissed private media reports that a rift exists between him and Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

The private media recently claimed that divisions existed in post-Congress Zanu-PF with the so-called "Gang of Four" banding against VP Mnangagwa and other party leaders.

This claim has been amplified by expelled former party spokesman Mr Rugare Gumbo, who of late has been enjoying positive coverage in the private media while lampooning the revolutionary party.  

However, Kasukuwere said those who were "dreaming" of fissures in the revolutionary party were "wasting their time" as the party remained solid.

The party's organising chief clarified that the ongoing restructuring was not a one-man show, but involved the senior leadership of the party. He said that those that were insinuating that the commissar was power-hungry were misdirected.
