BARELY a month after he was assaulted during Independence Day celebrations in Nyanyadzi, former Energy deputy minister Munacho Mutezo was last Friday chased away from Vice-President Phelekezela Mphoko's familiarisation tour in Chimanimani.
Mutezo, who is Chimanimani West MP, allegedly went to former Roy Bennett's Charles Wood Farm where the VP was touring a DTZ-OZGEO diamond mine.
But during a briefing session, Manicaland Provincial Affairs minister Mandi Chimene told Mutezo in his face that he was not welcome to the function because he was suspended from Zanu-PF.
According to sources who attended the meeting, Chimene told Mutezo that he should not violate the terms of his suspension by forcing himself at meetings he had not been invited to.
Despite pleading with party supporters in Mutare recently to accept and forgive Mutezo, Mphoko reportedly said nothing when the former deputy minister was given his marching orders.
Mutezo reportedly left in a huff and Zanu-PF youths allegedly started singing songs denigrating the legislator, calling for his sacking from Parliament.
Mutezo refused to comment.
