ZANU PF caucus plots Mudenda replacement

ZANU PF MPs are reportedly caucusing and canvassing for support and votes to remove Speaker of Parliament Advocate Jacob Mudenda.

Mudenda fell out of favour with ZANU PF bigwigs after reports that he was corrupt and involved in several murky deals from his time as Board Chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe CAAZ to the ZESA Vic Falls land scandal .

ZANU PF and security agencies are also rumoured to be investigating Mudenda's relationship with several Western embassies.

Sources who spoke to this reporter revealed that Mudenda's statement calling for diaspora vote without addressing sanctions was motivated by his compromised relations with Western embassies outside the government's re-engagement policy.

Mudenda spoke contrary to party policy on the diaspora vote while giving an official speech.

In trying to establish why, I found out:
-A western embassy is said to have dropped Safeguard and hired Peace Security.
-Mudenda has interests in Peace Security (started by Makova). pic.twitter.com/PxpNVSWISK
