Taurai Kundishaya, the Zanu PF Youth League political commissar, has condemned the claims made by Zanu PF national spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa that Vice President General (Retired) Dr. C. Chiwenga is not worthy to be President Mnangagwa’s successor.
Over the weekend, Mutsvangwa’s claim made numerous headlines in newspapers after he stated that Zanu PF is “not a church where people can be anointed, and the president is not the Pope or the Archbishop of Canterbury who anoints priests.”
During an interview with ZBC, Kundishaya highlighted that in Zanu PF, there are laid down procedures to be followed and that they adhere to the party’s ideology, which is supported by the party’s constitution.
“We don’t discuss succession with the media in Zanu PF; there are laid down procedures,” Kandishaya said.
“Infact, in Zanu PF, almost everything that we do is procedural; we have the constitution of the party, we have a code of conduct and we have the ideology of Zanu PF.
“So everything that is done in Zanu PF must be found within the four corners of the ideology; the ideology is then supported by the constitution of the party.
“So, this is not an issue where one can just be seen or heard out there discussing about it. That’s unprocedural.”
