Zanu PF Harare Province has issued a prohibition order
against its District Coordinating Committee (DCC) chairman Cde Godwin Gomwe for
indiscipline pending a determination by the ruling party’s National
Disciplinary Committee (NDC).
The ruling party’s interim chairperson for Harare
Metropolitan Province Cde Oliver Chidawu said the province wanted the party to
suspend Cde Gomwe because of various acts of indiscipline.
“We have submitted our recommendations to the National
Disciplinary Committee to suspend Cde Gomwe from carrying any party activities
until he is cleared of charges levelled against him,” Cde Chidawu said.
Cde Chidawu signed the prohibition letter accusing Cde
Gomwe of posting statements on social media that “tarnish and or defame the
characters of some senior party officials namely Cdes Chidawu, Kazembe Kazembe
— provincial chairman for Mashonaland Central, Biggie Matiza, provincial
chairman Mashonaland East and Cde Mike Madiro, provincial chairman Manicaland.”
“You posted several social media messages that went viral
accusing the above of not defending His Excellency the President when he was
under attack in the old dispensation,” said Cde Chidawu.
According to the letter, a meeting of the provincial
co-ordinating committee that was held on May 28, 2020 resolved to have Cde
Gomwe suspended.
“The meeting resolved to recommend to institute
disciplinary proceedings against you by the National Disciplinary Committee,
said Cde Chidawu.
Contacted for comment, Cde Gomwe dismissed the suspension
letter saying as acting chairperson Cde Chidawu did not have authority to
institute disciplinary proceedings against him.
“Yes, I received a prohibition order from the acting
provincial chairman Cde Chidawu, he said. Unfortunately he does not have the
right to give me a prohibition order since he is not a substantive chairman. I
will carry on with my duties as the DCC 2 chairperson.” Herald
