Simbarashe Mumbengegwi has been a loyal member of the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front since the 1960s and has been in and out of cabinet since the 1980s. He reportedly belongs to the elite group of people like Simba Makoni and the late Witness Mangwende who fundraised for the party during their student days and were later rewarded by high posts in the government.
