Kasukuwere, Mutsvangwa in verbal fight

Zanu-PF infighting degenerated to frightening levels yesterday, with the party's national political commissar Saviour Kasukuwere and War Veterans minister Christopher Mutsvangwa engaging in a bare knuckle verbal fight ahead of the party's national conference starting in Victoria Falls today.

Speaking soon after addressing a no-holds barred Zanu-PF Harare provincial conference, Kasukuwere demanded Mutsvangwa to account for money that allegedly went missing from the State broadcaster Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) during his tenure as director-general.

Kasukuwere had apparently been angered by Mutsvangwa's decision to back Bulawayo war veterans' call for the national commissar's post to be reserved for freedom fighters.
