Tables turned against Kasukuwere

Members of the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association (ZNLWVA) are ratcheting up pressure on President Robert Mugabe to demote or dismiss national political commissar, Saviour Kasukuwere at the ruling party's annual conference schedule for Victoria Falls.

The war veterans want someone with liberation war credentials to head the commissariat department, which Kasukuwere has been running since December last year.

In the past, the war veterans have declared the office of the President to be a no-go-area for those without liberation war credentials.

Relations between the war veterans and Kasukuwere have been frosty following his utterances which were viewed by the war veterans as demeaning their status and role.
