The Zanu-PF faction backing ousted party Vice President Joice Mujuru says it has engaged lawyers to explore ways to challenge the party’s December congress which they allege was illegal.
Some political analysts predict the party is now headed for a split.
Former secretary for administration Didymus Mutasa released a statement Monday saying the congress was null and void.
Mutasa, who was referring to himself as the party secretary for administration though he was replaced by Ignatius Chombo, claims to be representing the majority of Zanu-PF supporters irked by the lack of internal democracy in the party.
Attempts to reach party spokesman Simon Khaya Moyo were futile. Studio 7’s Blessing Zulu spoke with expelled former Zanu-PF spokesman Rugare Gumbo.
Political analyst, Alex Magaisa, of Kent University in London says it will be interesting to watch the Zanu-PF race in the by-elections. -VOA

Interesting that this statement would come from Didymus Mutasa, he same person who has an interesting profile:
1. Commented that he didn’t care if 6M people would die from food shortages as this would increase the number of ZANU PF supporters
2. He was the instigator of Murambatsvina
3. He demanded the release of his son (Martin Mutasa) from jail, going against the justice system
4. When Dorothy Mabika refused his advances, he launched a campaign to have her arrested for stock take
5. He was accused of being behind the arsenic death of Christpower Maisiri, a 12 year old boy
6. He was one of the Ministers that were duped in the infamous ‘Chinhoyi diesel scandal’
7. He coined the term ‘gamatox’ when calling for Johnathan Moyo to be pushed out

You know there is an eternal concept in the word of God: His blessings but they come with a condition. Zimbabwe want God’s blessing on their lives and on the nation but then we want to go out and live exactly how we think we should live. In Genesis Ch 26 we see that Abraham was blessed even in the time of a famine. Why? because he obeyed God’s voice, kept God’s commandments, statutes and laws. ZPF and Zimbabwe have broken them all, repeatedly. No wonder we are a destroyed nation. Where is the call to repentance? For a churched nation we should know that it is NOT ok to steal, c hate, lie, carry bitterness and unforgiveness, go on the path to revenge, kill, torture cheat, rig elections,, be greedy, flout unjust laws, be corrupt, lift up and idolise any man, be covetous, take someone else’s property, oppress and suppress and much, much more. God hates all these things and they bring a curse. look around you fellow Zimbabweans. What do you see. A blessed or cursed nation? All these things ZPF have done to the Mujuru half they have all done to the nation for a very long time. God’s justice and judgment is catching up with them all. No repentance no forgiveness no restoration!

kkkkkk Its strange that some people in ZANU PF are now seeing the light. But this is what Morgan and others have been saying since 1999 and because most of you were were enjoying the illgotten wealth you labelled Morgan a traiter a sell out for challenging Mugabe. Now you want us to call you names. This is why l have been always querring the wisdom of Zimbabweans. You claim to have the highest literacy rate in the world. But our participation in issues to do with bread and butter leaves a lot to be desired.

From your previous statement to this statement, it has become crystal clear that you support the M’nangagwa faction. You are pushing your idea that the 2004 drama was illegal, but this one which catapulted M’nangagwa into power is the legitimate one.

The Congress was illegal:
(1) The 9 Provincial Committees were improperly constituted because the Chairmen were removed unprocedurally and against the dictates of the Constitution of Zimbabwe which requires all citizens to be granted a fair hearing for redress.(2) The delegates to the Congress were not selected by properly constituted Provincial Councils.(3) The amendment to the Constitution was illegal and therefore the appointments of the VPs was null and void.(4) Congress failed to elect the Presidency and therefore the Praesidium remains the way it was on 1 July 2014.
Obviously the legal action will not reverse Mnangagwa and Mphoko appointments in government,but it legitimizes the split in ZanuPF into two parties and neither will have power to recall either’s members of parliament.

Yes the changing of the constitution in 2004 was illegal too but I hope you are not say last year’s changes must be legal because of what happened in 2004!

of course it was unconstitutional…the one man one vote system was abused. Mugabe was given all the powers and that is unconstitutional. Grace was made boss of the women’s league…unconstitutional because she has not served the party for 15 years…..what more do zimbabweans need to realise that mugabe is a dictator that was happily endorsed by this so called ‘congress’. For once we should be glad that some people in zanu are speaking up and out about the injustices in the party which mugabe and his hure wife have made their children’s heirloom…hoza maloyalists ezanupf…tinemi all the way…..vabve chimhuri ichocho taneta nacho….anything to remove this dictator and his hure and children will be supported by the rest of zimbabwe. Macomrade ngatibatanei tibvise mugabe nagrace. grace ngaabve pawomen’s league paiswe munhu anokodzera kwete hure rine hutsinye kudaro. grace anofunga kuti ndiani muzimbabwe. kurara namugabe munhu wobva watofunga kuti newe wavewo president…endai kwazvimba kana kunjanja sezvo mugabe aroorwa nagrace pari zvino…saka anofanira kuenda kuchivhu kunusha kwagrace….garai kufar east musadzoke kuzimbabwe…you are not welcome…tichanakidzwa gore rino

Really? Why was it null and void? Which rules in the zanu constitution were not adhered to? And can these people who suddenly want to follow procedure also sue the leadership that emerged after the 2004 congress since the politburo changed the party constitution illegally to reserve a VP post for females and suspended 7 provincial chairmen without submitting them to disciplinary procedures as required by the party constitution…….sore losers Vana Mutasa and Wilbert

Which part of the zanu constitution was violated to make congress null and void? People must learn to accept when they have lost….Congress was done according to the constitution of zanu pf and none of those claiming otherwise can quote a single section of the charter that was violated

Interesting!!!
Of course the Zanu PF congress was null and void but I do not think Zimbabwe has many judges who will have the courage to it!
