Bhasikiti slams Grace Mugabe, Mphoko

Bhasikiti said that he will not be expelled from the ruling party by a politburo that is packed with people who were illegally appointed to their positions.

He went on to question the appointments of Mphoko, Grace and Togarepi to the disciplinary committee that expelled him last week as purges in Zanu-PF continue.

The former Zanu-PF Politburo member and former Minister of State for Masvingo Provincial Affairs said the decision taken by the Politburo to expel him was part of God's plan.

"What happened is God's plan and I am happy it happened that way. It reminds me of the Biblical story of Joseph whose brothers threw him in a pit thinking that they had gotten rid of him, not knowing that he would one day come back to save them. It happened that way because it was God's plan," he said.

"The same even happened to Jesus while he was not guilty of anything. He was crucified because it was God's plan," he said.

"What has happened is an execution of God's plan and I believe God will guide that future."

Mr Bhasikiti said he would take his time to consider his future move. "I will not hurriedly make a decision, but I don't blame anyone in the Politburo, but I thank them for executing God's plan," he said.
