City of Mutare Mayor Tatenda Nhamarare who is a mayor through being voted by Zanu pf members also is on another mission to remove all MDC-T councillors who does not support him.

This comes out after it has been discovered that he (the mayor) was giving proof of residence to aspiring candidates who are aligned to him during the biometric voter registration process. The name of aspiring candidates whom he is supporting are Tendai Mudzipura and Sekai Mukodza. Sekai is Municipal Council police and girlgriend to Kingston Mutande who doubles as a driver and a body guard to Tatenda.

One of the councillor (name withheld), said, "Nhamarare is unpredictable, he change a any time. He is not known whether he is a Zanu Pf or an MDC T member.

"When he was voted to be the Mayor, Zanu pf was very happy to the extent of covering him with a Zanu Pf regalia and raising him up. This shows that he is double dipping. He don't even like some MDC councillors and he is always at loggerheads with them.

"Last month he was saved by the council act which has no provision of vote of no confidence. If it had Tatenda was going to be voted out for failing to please or fulfil what he promised Zanu pf councillors who voted him".

Close source is saying Tatenda has dropped the Member of Parliament candidature after he was tipped that the Provincial and National Executive will not support him because of his unpredictable behaviour.

"He was told to forget of being a Chikanga Dangamvura member of Parliament for no one will support him because of his behaviour.

"This is why he wants to retain the mayoral position.

However, it seems as if Nhamarare is running after wind. He is no longer marketable in both council and parliament.
