Saviour Kasukuwere the party's political commissar, who described himself as one of the biggest political thugs in Zanu-PF, yesterday warned that more heads are set to roll in Zanu-PF and more purges are looming as a new wave of factionalism threatens to ravage the former liberation movement.
Addressing a campaign rally in Tafara-Mabvuku, where he was drumming up support for the party's parliamentary candidate for Harare East, Terrence Mukupe, Kasukuwere described himself as the biggest political thug in the party.
"I am one of the biggest political thugs in Zanu-PF and some of these people are small thugs," he said, the clearest sign yet that all was not well in the ruling party.
Without mentioning names, Kasukuwere hinted that those opposed to him were on the verge of being expelled.
"There are those who are close to being expelled. You don't challenge the leadership of the party or use your positions to undermine the party."
Anti-riot police maintained a heavy presence at the rally.
