They six were sworn in by President Emmerson Mnangagwa at
the State House yesterday. Presidential spokesperson George Charamba confirmed
the appointments on his official government Twitter account.
“HE Cde ED Mnangagwa has sworn the following five to the
Peace and Reconciliation Commission.
“Donwell Dube, Tinashe Rukuni, Chiropafadzo Moyo, Obert
Chaurura Gutu, Josephine Shambare and Nomaqhawe Gwere,” Charamba tweeted.
Gutu was shortlisted together with 29 other candidates last
month and was interviewed on April 14. After joining Zanu PF, Gutu has been
singing praises of Mnangagwa and castigating the opposition MDC Alliance.
Observers yesterday called for his resignation because he
was not apolitical, as section 236 demands.
“It is, however, possible for a political party member to
be appointed to the commission, but he or she must relinquish his or her
membership of the political party within 30 days of such appointment,” section
236 of the Constitution reads. Newsday
