Maziwisa accuses fellow party members of soiling his image

Zanu-PF deputy spokesperson Psychology Maziwisa, who emerged victorious in the primary elections to become the party parliamentary candidate for Highfield constituency in the June 10 by-election, has accused fellow party members of trying to soil his name.

This followed reports by disgruntled Zanu-PF functionaries in the area claiming Maziwisa was imposed as the parliamentary candidate for the by-elections through flawed internal polls ahead of other deserving candidates. The allegations were recently corroborated by the Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP).

But Maziwisa yesterday said: he will not listen to such nonsense coming from people who are not even Zanu-PF members.

Those allegations are utter rubbish and he will not even dignify them with an answer.

According to the ZPP report released last week, some Zanu-PF members who lost to Maziwisa in the party's primary elections described the internal polls as flawed.
