G40 has last laugh as Mnangagwa suffers big setback

Zanu PF politburo yesterday cracked the whip on errant party members and fired Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s self-confessed ally, Energy Mutodi, and upheld the suspension of several others for putting the party into disrepute.These include Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly and Mutoko North MP Mabel Chinomona and youth league administration secretary, Lewis Matutu.

Mutodi, who is currently on remand for allegedly claiming that Mnangagwa was poisoned by Health and Defence ministers David Parirenyatwa and Sydney Sekeramayi, respectively, was fired for tarnishing the party’s image.

Party spokesperson, Simon Khaya Moyo told journalists in Harare that the politburo had nullified the suspension of Mashonaland Central provincial chairperson, Dickson Mafios, Masvingo provincial commissar Jeppy Jaboon, Mashonaland Central secretary for administration, Wonder Mashange and Chipinge South legislator, Enock Porusingazi, among others.
