RECENTLY appointed Zanu PF Political Commissar Munyaradzi Machacha has announced a massive restructuring process of the party, with sources saying the move is meant to dump members against President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s bid for an illegal third term in office. Zanu PF is expected to hold its District Coordinating Committee (DCC) elections this year as dictated by its constitution, at a time when members are embroiled in cold-war-style factionalism. Factionalism within the party is based on calls that Mnangagwa should not step down after serving his two terms as President but instead continue at the helm “beyond 2030.

” His deputy Constantino Chiwenga is eyeing the top post. At the same time, relatively younger guns like Supa Mandiwanzira and Jenfan Muswere have been touted as possible successors if Chiwenga fails to court support. Machacha’s restructuring process is expected to start on June 1 with Provincial Coordinating Committee (PCC) meetings headed by Politburo members and end on the weekend of July 6 and 7.



The final weekend is meant to verify the election of candidates selected. Returnees and former members of opposition parties who defected to Zanu PF, intending to stand for election, will be verified from the party’s headquarters and have names forwarded to their respective provinces. “This Circular informs provinces of the sequence of important awareness meetings leading to PHASE 1,” reads a circular signed by Machacha on May 29 this year.
