Mugabe Threatens Mutasa Supporters
Zimbabwe Eye
Didymus Mutasa,former Zanu PF administration secretary and Headlands MP has claimed that the ruling party is intimidating his supporters as it has deployed State security agents in the constituency ahead of a by-election to be held on 10th of June this year.
Mutasa who was fired from Zanu PF and recalled from Parliament over alleged indiscipline after he filed a court challenge seeking nullification of the party’s December 2014 congress outcome, has expressed that he will contest and defend his parliamentary seat as a Zanu PF candidate as he has always done.
A total 15 aspiring candidates have been listed by Zanu PF to contest primary elections to choose a suitable candidate for the by-elections. Mutasa who said nothing will deter him and he is ready to contest in the by-election described himself as still belonging to Zanu PF .
“I have already stated that I will contest the by-election under the real Zanu PF, and I don’t know which other Zanu PF they are talking about. I am still a bona fide party member and l would contest any by-election in my constituency under the party’s name. I don’t want to let down the people in my constituency.” he said.
Talking about his campaigns he described how these were being sabotaged by the state security agents.
“Already there is no fair play because the army and CIO (Central Intelligence Organisation) are already patrolling the area intimidating my supporters.
Those illegal party candidates should campaign for themselves without misusing State instruments like the army, police, the CIO and other civil servants.” said Mutasa.
Mutasa has named one of the top Air Force of Zimbabwe official (name supplied), who is claimed to be leading the terror campaign against his supporters.
During his hey days in Zanu PF, Mutasa was President Robert Mugabe’s close aide and was once in charge of the CIO.
Samuel Udenge the acting provincial chair for Manicaland has confirmed that 15 candidates were vying for the Headlands seat.
Among those listed are former Manicaland governor Tinaye Chigudu, outspoken war veteran Nathaniel Mhiripiri, provincial youth league chairperson Dakarayi Mapuranga, Nation Madongorere, Christopher Chingosho, councillors Taurai Chiripamberi and Mathias Dakura.
