The Midlands Province has joined the country’s nine other
provinces in support of the sacking of Cde Emmerson Mnangagwa from the post of
vice president and called for the elevation of the First Lady, Grace Mugabe
to the post.
The province also recommended the expulsion and suspension
of those who were working with the former vice president in fanning
factionalism.
Addressing party members at the Provincial Coordinating
Committee (PCC) meeting held at the party’s convention centre in Gweru today,
the Zanu PF Midlands Provincial Political Commissar, Cde Makhosini Hlongwane,
who is also the Minister for Sports, Recreation, Arts and Culture, reaffirmed
the province’s support for President Mugabe and condemned rogue elements who attempted
to humiliate the First Lady, Dr Grace Mugabe at the interface rally that was
held in Bulawayo on Saturday.
He called upon the party and the police to take appropriate
action over these rogue elements.
Midlands Minister of State, Cde Jason Machaya called for
unity and urged party members to go back and work together to build a solid
party ahead of the 2018 general elections, while the Provincial Secretary for
Finance, Cde John Holder urged party members to go and encourage people to
