The acquittal by the courts of suspended MDC-T councillors and Mayor Hamutendi Kombayi who had been suspended by the Local Government Minister Saviour Kasukuwere on charges of mismanagement and corruption has become topical in the Midlands province.
Zimbabwe Peace Project reported that the councillors are waiting for a formal re-instatement letter to assume duty from the parent Ministry which is yet to do so several weeks after the High Court Judgement.
"Some other high profile developments and events on the political scene include the MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai's marathon meet the people rallies meant to audit party structures and gap fill in incidences where others would have defected to ZimPF since some prominent provincial MDC-T party members including former Mayor Tedius Chimombe have defected to the newly- launched party," ZPP reported.
"Factional fights within Zanu-PF have intensified and have reached boiling point. The political gurus of the province in the likes of Kizito Chivamba provincial party chairperson have been suspended for being vocal and standing by Mnangagwa's side."
"The lower level party structures have been shaken too as all those aligned to Team Lacoste as the Mnangagwa side is known are being demoted and suspended. The suspensions have hit hard Mnangagwa's foot soldiers in the likes of Bushe Shadreck of Mabodza Village Chiundura constituency. The man was doing the Team Lacoste mobilization activities until he was reprimanded by
Headman Gwedu."
