Two former cabinet ministers have made applied to re-join
the ruling Zanu-PFparty, two years after they were expelled, the Midlands
provincial chairperson has said.
In an interview, ZANU-PF Midlands chairperson Daniel
Mackenzie Ncube confirmed that former Minister of Sports Recreation, Arts and
Culture, Makhosini Hlongwane and former Deputy Minister of Public Service,
Labour and Social Welfare Tapiwanashe Majaya Matangaidze are among former party
members who have re-applied t be re-admitted into Zanu PF.
Hlongwane, a former ZBC reporter. was the legislator for
Mberengwa East while the former Premier Soccer League president Matangaidze was
the Shurugwi South legislator.
“We have applications from former ministers. We have got
applications from Makhosini Hlongwane and Tapiwa Matangaidze. We will be
sitting down to make our decision on them.”
“It’s something we should have done about two weeks ago, so
we are trying to get a slot so that we can sit down and make the necessary
recommendation to headquarters. We are far behind on the issue.
The provincial chairperson said Zanu-PF is a “big tent”,
and that people who want to join or re-join the party were most welcome after
being vetted.
“But they will have to be properly vetted and most likely
they will start at the bottom of the rank,”said Mackenzie Ncube.
“ They will be observed over time to ensure that they are
now compliant in everything they do.”
Hlongwane, Matangaidze and five other executive members
were expelled from the party ove two years ago after Zanu-PF Midlands
provincial executive accused them of misconduct, peddling falsehoods to the
party’s leadership and dividing the province.
The other Midlands provincial executive members who were
