Seven youth leaders were expelled from the party last week for “gross indiscipline and misconduct” but claimed in dossier that they were in fact expelled because they had refused to confront Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa who is currently under siege from a group of Young Turks called G40 which supports First Lady Grace Mugabe.
“When we refused to be hired to confront VP Mnangagwa we were declared ‘rebels’ and a project is now in full throttle to silence us for good,” they said.
“In 2014, Mugabe did send us out to confront Mai Mujuru and those he regarded as rebels while he played smart, unaware and uninvolved. We know for a fact that he is also behind the current turbulence and disorder in the party as also evidenced by his recent ill-treatment of fellow freedom fighters despite them being the ones who uplifted him to the helm at the Chimoi Congress in 1977.”
They also said: “Of late, we have noted the party president and First secretary Cde Robert Mugabe seems to have intended to privatise ZANU-PF. It has now become a crime in the party to criticise wrongs and you will be accused of undermining the first family despite the fact that there is no such constitutional provisions, which talk of the first or last families, as the party is about individuals as members coming together under the banner of the organisation.”
