Zanu PF Mashonaland West provincial Women's League treasurer, Beauty Zhuwao is said to have quit her party post following pressure from party members accusing her of refusing to sign a petition that led to the ouster of acting provincial chairperson Ziyambi Ziyambi.
Zhuwao stepped down last week after it emerged that she would not survive the ongoing purge targeting Ziyambi's sympathisers.
Beauty is Zanu PF politburo member Patrick Zhuwao's wife.
According to NewsDay, Zhuwao confirmed her resignation, but said she had stepped down to "pursue some studies".
"The resignation is not political. Why do you want to politicise every facet of life . . . I'm pursuing studies at the UZ (University of Zimbabwe,)" Zhuwao said.
