Malala and Nyaruwata |
The Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association
(ZNLWVA) which was selected on 16th of November 2014 has announced to the media
that it is taking over the leadership of the association as a committee that
will lead the former fighters until the congress to elect new leadership.
At a news conference in Harare this Wednesday evening, Cde
Patrick Nyaruwata said he is replacing Christopher Mutsvangwa as chairperson
while the rest of the Masvingo elected executive remains the same.
Making the announcement at a local hotel in Harare, a
member of the Masvingo selected executive, Cde Nyaruwata and Deputy Chairman of
the executive, Cde George Mlala said they will lead that committee that will
spearhead the preparations for the congress.
They said the constitution of the ZNLWVA was suspended
prior to the Masvingo congress which elected Mutsvangwa as chairman, and the
national executive was operating under an executive order from the First
Secretary of Zanu PF and patron of the association.
Cde Nyaruwata said the remaining members after Mutsvangwa’s
removal will chart the way forward for the ZNLWVA and the constitution remains
suspended.
He pledged the association’s full support for the ruling
Zanu PF party, saying it shall take all measures to hold an elective congress
as soon as possible in order to elect a new leadership and create sanity in the
ZNLWVA, which has been tainted by Mutsvangwa, Douglas Mahiya, Victor
Matemadanda, Headman Moyo and Francis Nhando who are accused of insulting the
President and the First Lady.
