Factionalism dents Mnangagwa faction

Acting President Emerson Mnangagwa was yesterday forced to address a paltry crowd of about 200 people including participants and officials at the opening ceremony for the 13th edition of Zimbabwe National Youth Games at Sakubva Stadium in Mutare.

This was despite the fact that Zanu PF youths had earlier on shut down Sakubva flea market and ordered all vendors to attend the event.

Although Zanu PF Manicaland acting provincial chairman Samuel Undenge could not be reached for comment, observers attributed the poor turnout to factional fights in the province.
