Kwekwe Central MP Masango Matambanadzo (Blackman) who boasts of being a Grade 2 Drop-Out, is to be booted from both the party and Parliament over his violent public behaviour.
HON MP Matambanadzo in response to the reports has said he is only being persecuted because of his “sharp brains.” Mr Matambanadzo faces the axe after ZANU PF’s Midlands executive met to execute their resolve on him which is that he goes under the current purge of Mujuru supporters underway.
Senior Central Committee Douglas Tapfuma in a statement said the provincial executive has ruled to commence the process soon after congress which ends at the weekend.
“The province has been concerned by the behaviour of Hon Matambanadzo, who has been involved in various violent confrontations with senior members of the party and even the Mayor of Kwekwe (Matenda Madzoke). He has caused serious embarrassment to Zanu PF and we have just had enough,” Tapfuma said.
 
Matambanadzo faces charges of beating up fellow party legislator Owen Ncube (Gokwe-Kana MP) who is also the provincial secretary for security in Amaveni, the matter which is still pending at the courts.
Tapfuma also accused the controversial MP of boycotting party meetings and rallies held in the province.
“We don’t know if he is still a party member because he is not working with us, he has never visited the Kwekwe party office since he was elected and he is running a dubious $1 a day programme which as a party we have distanced ourselves from,” he said.
Tapfuma said soon after congress, the provincial executive will urgently submit its recommendations to the party’s national disciplinary committee to have Matambanadzo expelled from the party.
“We do not have the power to expel him from the party, but we can only recommend that he should be expelled and once that happens he will be recalled,” he said.
Matambanadzo on record says that he is being persecuted because of his “sharp brains”. “I might be a Grade 2 dropout, but I have sharp brains which have seen me helping people and that is the reason why some people from my own party hate me and are doing everything to pull me down,” he recently told flea market vendors in Kwekwe.
