Ageing Zanu PF bigwigs told : Retire and leave government service to Young Turks

Ageing Zanu PF bigwigs told : Retire and leave government service to Young Turks.THE Zanu PF women’s league has called on ageing party bigwigs to retire from government and pave way for younger women in a bid to revive the shrinking economy.Speaking at a national gender forum in Mutare on Friday last week,


the ruling party’s women’s league deputy secretary, Angeline Masuku, said ageing government officials should take a cue from her and leave government service to Young Turks.Masuku was until last year Bulawayo Metropolitan Affairs minister.“As Zanu PF, we should learn to retire from government and give room to young women to lead.We liberated the country and young women should take over to liberate the economy,” Masuku said amid thunderous applause.“


I voluntarily retired from government in a bid to give way to young and new blood that is what many of our older women in government should do so that the country moves forward as we are road-mapping the 50/50 gender representation.”She said women politicians do not support each other.“Our party follows the country’s Constitution and we are going for 50/50 gender representation and we are still going to respect the proportional representation, but the main challenge in women is the pull her down syndrome.


We always look down upon ourselves, yet we can, and are able to do it,” she said.Speaking at the same event, MDC deputy president Lynette Karenyi-Kore said her party supported the 50/50 gender representation, and not the quota system.“We are saying we were given quotas in 2013 up to now and we achieved hatred among women in the issue of proportional representation,” she said.“If you go for primaries, males will start to say you have got 60 seats already forgetting that those seats are for the whole country, so it is a disadvantage to us.”Another MDC party formed in Zimbabwe.


A letter from the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission to the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) Zimbabwe reveals that there is a newly formed or launched party, MDC Zimbabwe.This comes when there are two MDCs already, the MDC led by Nelson Chamisa and the other led by Thokozani Khupe.Ironically, the MDC led by Chamisa uses the name MDC Zimbabwe on social media.Although there is no information at the moment to suggest who the leaders of the new party are, the address suggests that the party’s main offices are in Gweru

Chamisa's lawyer spoke out about Mnangagwa's fraud evidence during the election

OPPOSITION MDC leader Nelson Chamisa will launch a renewed bid to oust President Emmerson Mnangagwa by seeking to have the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) review its own judgment based on “new evidence.”.Chamisa’s lawyer Thabani Mpofu said after studying academic works on the elections published by self-exiled former minister Jonathan Moyo, they were now making efforts to have the judgment on the 2018 presidential elections set aside.The country’s top court ruled that Chamisa had failed to prove allegations of fraud during the presidential election, a vote which left the nation polarised and violence on the streets of the capital Harare.Mpofu said the basis of approaching the ConCourt was because they now believe that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) presented to the courts false information and, therefore, their call for the judgment to be set aside.“The general rule is that once a final judgment or order has been given, the judge who gave it or any other judge of parallel juri...

The former First Lady ganged up with the G40 faction of ZANU-PF....
