At least 15 Zanu PF members have submitted their Curriculum Vitaes (CVs) to be considered for Primary Elections in Mwenezi East constituency which fell vacant following the outspoken Kudakwashe Bhasikiti’s dismissal from both the party and parliament recently.
However, Bhasikiti says he is still the Member of Parliament (MP) for the area. He said recent developments in the party were shocking because ‘ under normal circumstances, the court outcome was supposed to be heard before anyone compete for the constituency’.
Still pinning hopes on courts …Kudakwashe Bhasikiti
“I do not know what they are doing because the issue is before the courts as we speak. I was never given a dismissal letter and I do not know the crime which I committed to warrant dismissal. I don’t want to comment a lot because the case is before the court but I am sure justice will take place,” said Bhasikiti.
Masvingo provincial chairperson for Zanu PF Paradzai Chakona told Tell Zimbabwe that people had already submitted their CVs for vetting.
“Yes I can confirm that people are already submitting their CVs and 15 candidates have already come forward,” said Chakona.
Although Chakona did not give names of those who are eying Bhasikiti’s constituency, Tell Zimbabwe was informed that losing candidate for Masvingo Urban constituency in 2013 Zanu PF Primary elections Jusibee Omar is tipped to take the constituency.
However, Omar who have some farms in Mwenezi is likely to face a serious challenge from the current Mwenezi Rural District Council (RDC) chairperson Samuel Masukume.
other people who have submitted their CVs include Marvellous Chifumo, Justice Sithole, Aleck Murefu, Cuthbert Muzara, Joshua Moyo and Cletus Muchara among others. Politics
