Mutsvangwa-led executive risks losing benefits

President Robert Mugabe's government has threatened to withdraw monthly allowances and other benefits for defiant Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans' Association (ZNLWVA) leaders who are refusing to recognize the government-appointed new executive.

War Veterans minister Tshinga Dube yesterday said that members of the Christopher Mutsvangwa-led executive risked losing their benefits if they remained defiant.

Mutsvangwa and his executive have refused to recognize the government-appointed executive led by Robert Ncube.

The Mutsvangwa executive severed ties with Mugabe after it released a damning communiqué calling on the Zanu PF leader to resign for allegedly running down the country.
