First Lady Grace Mugabe's scheduled visit to Manicaland next week has stoked fierce fights, which have seen rival Zanu-PF provincial factions haggling over the venue for her meeting.
Grace is scheduled to travel to Manicaland on October 8, where she will address a rally meant to mend the widening rift between rival Zanu-PF factions led by Provincial Affairs minister Mandi Chimene and Water minister Oppah Muchinguri.
Initially, the rally was penciled for Cashel Valley in Chimanimani East, where Energy minister and acting provincial chairperson Samuel Undenge is MP.
Meanwhile, Zanu-PF has seized former Masvingo Provincial Affairs minister and ex-Mwenezi East legislator, Kudakwashe Bhasikiti's 2013 campaign vehicle, a Ford Everest, accusing him of hobnobbing with fired former Vice-President Joice Mujuru.
The ruling party's interim provincial chairman, Paradzai Chakona, confirmed the development yesterday, saying the decision to repossess the vehicle was based on that Bhasikiti was no longer Zanu-PF.
