CHAOS has rocked Zanu PF Matabeleland South after the
provincial co-ordinating committee (PCC) dropped some candidates approved by
national commissar Engelbert Rugeje and compiled a new list of parliamentary
candidates to represent the ruling party in the July 30 general elections.
The PCC reportedly met in Gwanda on Monday and drafted its
final list of candidates after unanimously rejecting the list provided by
Rugeje, alleging imposition of candidates.
Some of the major changes made to the previous list saw
provincial chairman Rabelani Choene becoming the Beitbridge senatorial
candidate instead of Tambudzani Mohadi.
Alma Mkwebu was dropped as the Senate candidate for Gwanda
and was replaced by Rennie Kibi.
Choeni declined to comment over the issue yesterday. “My
brother, I am not in a position to talk about the issues done by national
commissar,” he said.
Efforts to get a comment from Rugeje were fruitless as his
mobile phone was not getting through while party spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo
was not picking calls.
The developments come as the nomination court sits tomorrow
to accept nomination papers from all candidates contesting the upcoming general
elections. Newsday
