Langton Ncube | The widow of the late former Zimbabwe Defence Forces Commander, Vitalis Zvinavashe, Margaret shocked fellow Roman Catholic Church members during a church service when she out of the blue erupted into Zanu PF slogans.
Mai Zvinavashe who stays at a family farm in Norton, and worships at the Roman Catholic Norton diocese, had pledged a Public Address System to the church.
Disgruntled congregants who attended the church service said that it was when she had been invited to announce the donation that she began chanting a Zanu PF slogan.
“When she stood up  to give her speech everyone thought that she was going to preach , but instead she shouted in shona saying “Pamberi mberi nePA system, neZanu PF while raising her clinched fist,” a ZimEye source said.
“This was not necessary and a lot of church members were embarrassed by that because she showed that she was politicking by donating the PA system. It also did not go well with the church leadership which did not comment but just kept quiet after the few minutes of her presentation which was also full of self pompous statements,” they added.
They said that no one acknowledged the Zanu PF slogan while Mai Zvinavashe was praising herself for donating the PA system.
Her late husband, Zvinavashe was also a member of the Politburo of the Zanu PF when he died in 2011.
He died shortly after returning from Cuba where he had gone to seek medical assistance for liver cancer.
In the 2008 parliamentary election, Zvinavashe ran on the Zanu PF ticket for the Gutu district senate and lost to the MDC-T’s Empire Makamure.
