Mnangagwa allies dragged to disciplinary hearings

Zanu-PF's national disciplinary committee (NDC) has gone ahead and hauled three provincial chairpersons accused of sabotaging a rally staged to thank President Robert Mugabe for his leadership of the African Union (AU).

Mashonaland East provincial chairperson, Joel Biggie Matiza was the first to be dragged over the coals, following his suspension two weeks ago.

The three are believed to be rooting for Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa in the Zanu-PF struggle to succeed Mugabe.

The Vice-President Phelekezela Mphoko-led committee includes First Lady Grace, youth league politburo secretary Pupurai Togarepi, legal secretary Patrick Chinamasa and national commissar Saviour Kasukuwere.
