The medical superintendent at Gutu Mission, the biggest
referral hospital in Gutu District has been suspended allegedly after he
refused to donate money to Zanu PF.
Sources told The Mirror that Dr Edmore Zvidzai who heads
the hospital refused to donate funds towards Independence celebrations during a
fundraising campaign by Zanu PF youth. This allegedly created bad blood between
him and the party youth who then pushed for his ouster.
Zvidzai declined to comment when contacted by The Mirror.
The Mirror understands that Dr
Zvidzai has since applied for a transfer from
Masvingo Province.
The Provincial Medical Director Amadeus Shamhu said that
Zvidzai had applied for a transfer from Masvingo Province but professed
ignorance on the former’s reasons for making the move.
“Dr Zvidzai requested a transfer from Masvingo Province but
I don’t know his reasons for making the move,” said Dr Shamhu.
Zanu PF Masvingo Provincial Youth chairperson Brian Munyoro
said party leadership in Gutu recommended for the transfer of Zvidzai after he
clashed with one of their councillors at the hospital last week recently.
He alleged that Dr Zvidzai threatened to kill all Zanu PF
patients who turned up at the hospital. He said the decision to have Dr Zvidzai
transferred followed a meeting that included members of the district Joint
Operations Command.
“We made recommendation for his transfer after he clashed
with our councillor for Ward 37 last week at the hospital. He shouted at our
councillor that all Zanu PF supporters who will visit the hospital will not
leave alive since they do not deserve to live,” alleged Munyoro.
Assistant Gutu DA Benedict Gwede confirmed the development. Masvingo Mirror
