Zanu PF Harare provincial political commissar who is also the Harare South MP Shadreck Mashayamombe is tipped to be come the party’s Harare provincial chairmanship in the party’s ongoing restructuring exercise, he is fighting with Mt Pleasant MP Jason Passade.
Mashayamombe is campaigning for Grace in her national rallies where she is preparing to succeed her 91 year old husband President Robert Mugabe.
He is also the current Zanu PF Harare province political commissar, while Passade is the deputy secretary for indigenisation.
Charles Tawengwa is the acting provincial chairperson after Godwills Masimirembwa was booted out in June by his provincial executive on allegations that he was fanning factionalism.
Masimirembwa was also accused of disrespecting the party’s top leadership after he reportedly misled Vice-President Phelekezela Mphoko that Mavis Gumbo would represent the party in the Harare East by-elections when, in fact, Terence Mukupe had won.
Masimirembwa had sprung to the Harare province top post after the sacking of the late Amos Midzi, who was accused of conniving with former Vice-President Joice Mujuru to oust President Robert Mugabe.
Mashayamombe yesterday said he would contest for the post as soon as the party opened up the floor and was optimistic of victory.
“I am confident of winning,” he said.
Passade also said he was waiting for a directive from the party and would contest as soon as the green light was given by the politburo.
“I was in the race before I lost to Midzi. I got 3 500 votes while Midzi polled 5 000 votes. The people who voted for me are still there and I am sure I will win. I am tried and tested. Mashayamombe is only 31 years old, he still belongs to the youth,” Passade said.
Passade lost to Midzi in 2013 in tightly-contested polls that were marred by factional accusations.
Midzi reportedly belonged to the Mujuru faction that swept eight provinces out of 10.
“We have to follow instructions from the leadership. I will campaign as soon as the post is declared open for contestation,” Passade said.
Other members reportedly eyeing provincial executive positions are Highfield West MP Psychology Maziwisa and Harare East MP Terence Mukupe.(Additional Reporting Newsday)

Isu madofo tatorasika. Zvamuri kutukana izvi zvinei chekuita nekudzimikirwa chairman we ZANU- PF muHarare?
well you are short sighted. It was Tsvangirai who expelled MPs from govt not anybody else. I do no see how you can distance Tsvangirai from that. AFter disagreeing what was to be benefitted from expelling the few members who were on the Mugabe oppostion side. You are very myopic
Tsvangirai and Gutu were MPs for which constituency? I am talking about people who were MPs and decided to leave the people who voted for them, and formed their funny parties which they even defected again, so who has a problem there?
If Biti and Mangoma were together I could think that, Tsvangirai and Gutu are not important but your so called learned and important people failed to understand each other and ended up defecting again just like Ncube and his team.
Grace Jones, I think this name Grace is the reason why you are failing or failed to get my comment.
frankly it is Tsvangirai and party who should be sent to the dust bins. Tsvangirai and Gutu do not add value to the opposition.
Ita chairman. Asi, heeeto. Aaacha! Huuuma!
I think Tendai Biti and the Pangu pangus team made premature moves by forming their factions at the expense of the general populace who voted for them. Now Psychology and a team of fools from ZANU PF are now MPs because of foolish moves by so called Lawyers who are degreed.
These fools are expecting us to vote for them again when in fact they abandoned us and donated their seats to Mugabe. Of cause some other fools could try to blame MDC-T, for this but no non MDC-T member or any non political party member could hold a post or position under a party which he or she did not belong to.
This is so bad. I think come 2018, Mangoma party and Biti party should be send to the dust bins by dumping the movement. If they had the people at heart why didn’t they contest as independent candidates? Guys ndo humhata hwamakaita uhu.
So you are expecting us to vote for you? Only fools of the same mind could vote for you, because you could even dump those same people the way you did.
Psychology is now the MP because of you pangu pangu tindingu tindingu kurira and Biti.
