Former Zanu PF chairman of the Harare youth league and terror group leader of Chipangano - Jim Kunaka is on the radar of G40 faction.
G40 is keen to have Kunaka on its side.
"G40 has not wasted any time taking him on board. Hope is that he could be instrumental in propping their agenda since he is presumed to still command some following in Harare. There is even talk that Chipangano might be revived ahead of 2018," said a source within the ZANU-PF Harare provincial structures.
Reports indicate that a substantial war chest has been set aside to fund Kunaka's upcoming activities after he allegedly held a meeting with key G40 figures at a local hotel on Wednesday last week where he was assured of all the necessary support.
According to insiders, the meeting was reportedly attended by Jonathan Moyo, Saviour Kasukuwere, Tabeth Kanengoni-Malinga and Patrick Zhuwao, who are all linked to G40 although they deny it.
Kunaka says he is back in Zanu PF to "be working for the party as hard as I can. I, however, would like to state that I was never supposed to address a press conference on Friday last week.
"There must be some people out there who are already unsettled by my return to ZANU-PF and would want to taint me," he said.
G40 and Team Lacoste are in a tight, bloody fight to control Zanu PF.
