The ruling Zanu-PF party has launched a high-level probe into allegations of embezzlement, insubordination, and incompetence within its Mashonaland West provincial structures, amid growing concerns over accountability and internal discipline.
According to a letter dated November 11, 2025, and signed by National Political Commissar Munyaradzi Machacha, the inquiry will be chaired by Dr. Lazarus Dokora. The directive, addressed to provincial chairperson Mary Mliswa, outlines a mandate to investigate a series of administrative and financial irregularities allegedly involving senior provincial officials.
The probe will focus on claims of unprofessional conduct, insubordination, and factionalism by the Provincial Administrator, as well as allegations of verbal abuse and misconduct against the Kadoma District Coordinator. Investigators will also examine suspected embezzlement of funds by the provincial finance and transport officer and seek to establish the whereabouts of party vehicles reportedly missing in the Kadoma district.
"The party Secretary-General, Jacob Mudenda, has appointed the board to investigate allegations of embezzlement of party funds and staff incompetency in Mashonaland West Province," the letter reads in part.
Machacha instructed the inquiry team to commence work on November 12 and submit its findings and recommendations by November 14, 2025. The board has also been empowered to pursue any additional leads related to possible financial misconduct or maladministration across the province.
"Your cooperation at all times is highly appreciated," Machacha wrote.
The development comes as the ruling party faces renewed scrutiny over internal accountability and financial transparency. Party insiders say the leadership is increasingly keen to root out corruption, factionalism, and poor governance within its structures ahead of upcoming political engagements.
Observers view the move as part of Zanu-PF's broader effort to reinforce discipline and restore public confidence in its internal operations as it gears up for key policy and electoral milestones.
