War veterans are standing by their embattled leader, Christopher Mutsvangwa, effectively setting themselves up on a warpath with the leadership of President Robert Mugabe`s warring post-congress Zanu-PF.
The vote of no confidence passed on him by the Mashonaland West province is not only threatening his Cabinet and party positions, but has also put his leadership of the Zanu-PF- aligned ZNLWVA in jeopardy, as the factional and succession wars devouring the ruling party continue to escalate.
Twenty-Five out of 36 members of the Zanu-PF Manicaland youth executive, yesterday resolved to pass a vote of no confidence against three executive members for contravening the party's constitution, among a host of allegations.
The three, Kelvin Manyengavana, Getrude Mutandi and Washington Zihwihwi, also had prohibition orders given to them by the vice-chairman of the Manicaland executive committee, Joseph Mujati, who is also the provincial chairman for the disciplinary committee, barring them from conducting any party business until their cases are heard and finalised.
Announcing the vote of no confidence, youth league vice-chairman, Mubuso Chinguno, said Kelvin Manyengavana and Zihwihwi connived to disobey an instruction from the national political commissar, which was instructing Manicaland Youth League to hold an inter-district conference on November 27, 2015 because Manyengavana was out of the country.
Mutandi and Zihwihwi were accused of illegally interfering with the operations of the provincial women's league despite the fact that there were not members of that organ.
