Zanu-PF appoints new Mash West chair

Zanu-PF central committee member Ephraim Chengeta, has been appointed interim Mashonaland West provincial chairman in a move expected to bring stability in the party.

Chengeta who is also Chegutu Rural District council chairman, emerged as a dark horse and a surprise choice as several people had put their names in the hat to take up the post following the ouster of acting chairman Ziyambi Ziyambi two weeks ago.

The provincial executives passed a vote of no confidence in Ziyambi accusing him of fanning factionalism and insubordination.
