Paurina Gwanyanya Mpariwa is hardly known outside the trade union circles. But she was so powerful and effective in the labour movement that she was elected to the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions’ general council and was appointed Shadow Minister of Labour when the Movement for Democratic Change was formed. She was even deputy chief whip of the party and landed the powerful post of Ministry of Labour when the inclusive government was formed. There are six Wikileaks cables on her. Here they are:
6-Mpariwa wanted to investigate Canadile
5-A week of raids, arrests and mayhem
3-Gwanyanya Mpariwa appointed minister
2-MP warned that MDC could be like ZANU-PF if it came to power
