Zanu-PF Chivi South legislator and businessman Cde Killer
Zivhu’s political career is hanging by a thread after the ruling party here
recommended his expulsion citing treacherous behaviour.
Cde Zivhu’s fate now lies with the Zanu-PF National
Disciplinary Committee(NDC) which has the final say on whether or not to
endorse his expulsion. If the decision to expel him is upheld by the NDC, Cde
Zivhu will also automatically cease to be the ruling party legislator for Chivi
South, necessitating a by-election.
The ruling party’s provincial co-ordinating committee (PCC)
yesterday overwhelmingly resolved to kick out Cde Zivhu from the party. This
was after the Chivi South legislator who is the provincial secretary for
Environment and Tourism had snubbed a hearing called by the party’s provincial
disciplinary committee chaired by vice chair, Cde Ailess Baloyi, over a week
ago.
Cde Zivhu had been served with a prohibition notice prior
to the recommendation for his dismissal. Zanu-PF Masvingo provincial chair, Cde Ezra Chadzamira,
confirmed the decision.
Cde Chadzamira who is also Masvingo Provincial Affairs
Minister said Cde Zivhu remained unapologetic hence the decision to summarily
expel him.
“We sat as the PCC today (yesterday) and recommended to the
NDC that Cde Zivhu be expelled from the party for his activities on social
media. We arrived at the decision to recommend his expulsion because even when
we served him with a prohibition order and called him to a hearing, he snubbed
the process,’’ said Cde Chadzamira.
He said Cde Zivhu continued with his treacherous behaviour
even after the prohibition order by using the social media to push for a
meeting between First Lady Amai Auxillia Mnangagwa and MDC Alliance leader Mr
Nelson Chamisa’s wife, Sithokozile.
The controversial Chivi South legislator stood accused of
violating party rules via social media platforms such as Whats App and Twitter
where he allegedly said he was going to push for dialogue between President
Mnangagwa and Mr Chamisa.
Cde Zivhu is also accused of having initiated the process of
collecting signatures for people in support of his initiative for dialogue
between President Mnangagwa and the MDC Alliance leader.
Prior to yesterday’s decision to recommend his expulsion,
Cde Baloyi had also accused Cde Zivhu of being unrepentant and having ignored
several warnings via various social media platforms by other party members to
stop his treachery.
Cde Baloyi said Cde Zivhu’s push for dialogue between
President Mnangagwa and Mr Chamisa raises stink because the MDC Alliance leader
has repeatedly snubbed overtures to be part of POLAD, instead demanding face to
face talks with the President.
