ZANU PF chairperson Oppah Muchinguri yesterday said some
funds and fuel coupons donated towards the party to celebrate her appointment
into the party presidium have gone missing, with senior party officials in
Manicaland suspected of converting it to their personal use.
Addressing the celebrations in Mutasa Central constituency
on Saturday, Muchinguri, however, thanked hundreds of party supporters who
gathered to celebrate her appointment.
Muchinguri could not confirm the exact amount stolen, but
the party’s Manicaland political commissar Gift Kagweda said $32 000 was
missing.
“We wanted to celebrate with our President (Emmerson
Mnangagwa), but I was told that some money was stolen that was meant for my
celebrations,” she said.
“But I am happy that people here in Mutasa Central you have
shown your support by financing this event despite the fact that some funds
that were meant for the celebrations went missing.”
Kagweda confirmed the development, claiming that $32 000
was misused. He said Muchinguri’s name was used to raise funds towards the
celebrations.
“People in Mutasa Central constituency initiated a
programme whereby they wanted to celebrate the appointment of Cde Muchinguri as
the national chairperson of the party,” he said. Newsday
