Zanu PF Divisions Deepen in Bulawayo

ZANU PF will hold its provincial elections in Bulawayo tomorrow amid serious divisions in the party over the revival of PF Zapu and the decision by most members of the current executive not to seek re-election.

The party chairperson in the city, Macleod Tshawe, said he would not seek re-election when the polls take place at Zanu PF's provincial headquarters.
Tshawe's pullout comes at a time when six members of his executive have left Zanu PF to join the revived PF Zapu.

The six include secretary for information and publicity Effort Nkomo, secretary for administration Tryphine Nhliziyo and secretary for security Andrew Ndlovu.

Sources in the party said members of the current executive opted out of the elections after a commission of inquiry set up by Zanu PF to investigate events leading to the revival of PF Zapu accused them of plotting to desert the party.
