SUSPENDED Zanu PF youth leaders, who have been at the
forefront of fighting corruption by exposing alleged cartel leaders, bleeding
the country through their perceived corrupt actions, now await President
Emmerson Mnangagwa to decide their fate after raising concerns to the party’s
national commissar Victor Matemadanda on the manner their case was handled.
Matemadanda sat with Lewis Matutu and Godfrey Tsenengamu,
who reportedly raised concerns on how they were suspended without a proper
hearing.
Matemadanda confirmed he would soon meet Mnangagwa over the
issue after listening to their story and was waiting for the appropriate time
to do that.
“I have not met the President yet on that one. I have first
to see the President on that one,” Matemadanda said.
Tsenengamu yesterday said they were waiting for feedback
after their meeting with Matemadanda recently.
“We are yet to get feedback after our meeting with the
commissar. We do not know whether they spoke or not. There are two things: that
he will speak to the President, and our issue in fighting corruption, that
fight will not stop,” Tsenengamu said.
“The fight against corruption is not under discussion. What
is under discussion is the suspension from the party. He (Matemadanda) wanted
to understand as a commissar on what was the rationale behind that because we
were not taken through any disciplinary hearings, we were not charged, nothing.
We were just suspended without charges or anything.”
Tsenengamu and Matutu were suspended from the party
together with deputy youth secretary Lewis Matutu after shaming Kudakwashe
Tagwirei (Sakunda Holdings), Billy Rautenbach (Green Fuel) and Tafadzwa
Musarara (Grain Millers Association of Zimbabwe chairperson) as individuals
bleeding the country’s economy by engaging in corrupt activities.
Pupurai Togarepi was removed from his politburo post of
Zanu PF youth secretary but remains a central committee member.
Meanwhile, Norton legislator Temba Mliswa has threatened to
name other cartel leaders today, adding the country was in the “iron grip of
cartels whilst the majority suffer”. Newsday
