Zanu-PF vows action over threatening text messages

Zanu-PF has invited its members who are receiving threatening text messages to come forward and report so that investigations are instituted to expose those behind the criminal acts, party spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo has said.

This comes amid heightened intimidation in the ruling party as warring factions reportedly angle to succeed 91-year-old President Robert Mugabe.

The majority of provincial youth chairpersons, some of them politburo members, including ministers, reportedly received messages on their mobile phones threatening them with death over internal party squabbles.

Khaya Moyo said the ruling party was keen to establish the origin of the messages, a move that may open up a can of worms in the faction-ridden party.
