By Terrence Mawawa Masvingo|First Lady Grace Mugabe and her henchman Saviour Kasukuwere who is the Zanu PF National Political Commissar are on the way to dismantle the Masvingo Provincial Executive, it has emerged.
The Grace led G40 team has lined up a series of meetings and rallies solely scheduled for Masvingo dedicated to weed out provincial members said to be sympathetic to embattled Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
The fired up First Lady is expected to henpeck perceived members of the Mnangagwa faction as she seeks to take control of the province’s entire political canopy.
Impeccable sources in the crisis torn Zanu PF have warned Mrs Mugabe risks flying into the middle of a storm since war veterans and State Minister Shuvai Mahofa’s sympathisers openly blame Mugabe’s wife for attempting to weaken the former liberation war fighters. Party sources told ZimEye.com Grace and Kasukuwere would soon physically tour Masvingo province since it had been identified as one of the trouble spots.
The provincial executive has told Mrs Mugabe to her face on the hot presidential succession matter. “The First Lady is pushing for the dismissal of the entire provincial executive. The First Lady and Kasukuwere are coming here very soon to dismantle the entire executive and place an interim committee. All perceived Mnangagwa factions are going to be axed. Rallies and meetings have been arranged and the G40 is coming to Masvingo very soon,”a senior party official told ZimEye.
Grace is expected to address rallies in Bikita, Masvingo and Chiredzi districts. The G40 is said to be working with Bikita South MP and Provincial Commissar, Jeppy Jaboon, to destroy the Team Lacoste in the province. Jaboon recently dumped the Mnangagwa camp to join the G40.
It is understood Mrs Mugabe and Kasukuwere want to replace embattled chairman Ezra Chadzamira with Chiredzi West MP Darlington Chiwa who is a Grace bootlicker.
