The ruling Zanu PF party has ordered its provincial structures to halt any suspensions of members and await a directive from the politburo, the party’s highest decision-making body.
This directive comes after the Midlands and Harare provinces initiated disciplinary hearings against over 300 party members, including former Gokwe-Nembudziya legislator, Justice Mayor Wadyajena.
Zanu PF Secretary for Information and Publicity, Ambassador Christopher Mutsvangwa, emphasised that provincial structures must adhere to the party’s standing resolution against suspensions and wait for central guidance from the politburo.
