Stormy Zanu-PF Politburo meeting on cards

Fireworks are expected at next week's Zanu-PF Politburo meeting where stern measures could be taken against members who have hit the campaign trail for Central Committee positions before being cleared by the party's leadership.

Zanu-PF's headed for its elective congress in December.

As a precursor to the event, running between December 9 and 14, the party has seized with the elections for its Youth League, Women's League and Central Committee.

Central Committee elections which should have been held last month are now running behind schedule.

The delays have become the source of anxiety and conflict among aspiring Central committee members, with others choosing to conduct themselves outside the rule book.
