Mnangagwa allies isolated

Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa's survival in the ruling Zanu-PF party is now solely at the benevolence of President Robert Mugabe after the political careers of some of his ardent sympathizers were shipwrecked by his rivals on Wednesday.

For the umpteenth time since the VP was  put on the back-foot, he has lost several trusted foot soldiers that were taking in the blows on his behalf.

The Zanu PF politburo yesterday cracked the whip on errant party members and fired Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwas self-confessed ally, Energy Mutodi, and upheld the suspension of several others for putting the party into disrepute.

These include Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly and Mutoko North MP Mabel Chinomona and youth league administration secretary, Lewis Matutu.
