THE Zanu PF youth league has recommended the expulsion of
three “controversial” youth leaders, Munyaradzi Shoko, Magura Charumbira and
Davis Muhambi, on allegations of fanning violence and indiscipline.
Zanu PF youth boss Kudzanai Chipanga yesterday said the
resolution was passed over the weekend.
“We made a resolution as the national youth executive and
the national assembly. We resolved that they should be fired from the party.
Charumbira and Muhambi are promoting violence in Bulawayo and Shoko’s case is
about gross social media abuse,” he said.
“He (Shoko) has been warned several times by the youth
league leadership, warned even by the President himself and the First Lady too,
but he is not showing any signs of remorse despite the fact that his colleagues
have repented.
“We are left with no option other than recommend his
immediate expulsion from the party. The recommendations came from their
provinces, Bulawayo and Manicaland.”
Chipanga said they were on a drive to instil discipline
within the youth wing.
Shoko is leader of the Children of Zimbabwe War Veterans’
Association (Cozwa), which, of late, has clashed with other party structures,
while Charumbira and Muhambi stand accused of fanning violence.
Shoko gained notoriety after he appeared on social media
networks assaulting and insulting both anti-Zanu PF supporters as well as party
supporters, but from a different factional camp with him.
This touched a raw nerve within Zanu PF after President
Robert Mugabe and the First Lady Grace Mugabe raised concern over people moving
around assaulting people with branded vehicles inscribed with Mugabe’s
pictures.
Charumbira hogged the limelight in August after his audio
recording attacking Vice-President Phelekezela Mphoko ahead of the burial of
the late Masvingo Provincial Affairs minister Shuvai Mahofa dominated social
media. newsday
