The Zimbabwe African national Union-Patriotic Front politburo meeting that was scheduled for today has been postponed to tomorrow signaling the beginning of the party’s special congress which will be held on Friday.
Party spokesman Simon Khaya Moyo said the central committee meeting will be held on Thursday.
