By Tinoonga Mawere, Masvingo | As Zanu PF continues to tear itself away from the Mugabe family and sliding towards Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa,
This is the first time anyone else’s face apart from Mugabe has begun appearing on party materials
Secretary for Administration Ignatius Chombo has threatened members of the provincial executive with dismissal if they continue to rebel against First Lady Grace Mugabe.
An irate Chombo told members of the Zanu PF provincial executive at a meeting held at Masvingo Polytechnic at the weekend party members who disrespect the First Lady would be sternly dealt with. Chombo came to Masvingo to address the members of the provincial executive after the Masvingo leadership rejected attempts by Grace Mugabe loyalists to rubber stamp her ascendancy. The Zanu PF factional fights have turned nasty such that there are fears there could be more bloodshed ahead of the conference scheduled for December in Victoria Falls.
A fuming Chombo said members of the provincial executive were reflecting disrespect for the First Family .The Zanu PF administrator did not mention how his party would tackle the debilitating economic conditions in the country.
“We know what is happening here and some of you are saying a lot of things about the First Family-particularly the First Lady. You must learn to be respectful .We will take stern measures if you do not respect the First Lady.
Why are people fighting ? You must stop all unnecessary attacks on the First Lady,” said Chombo.
It has also emerged Chombo’s visit was aimed at diluting Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s growing influence in the Zanu PF structures in Masvingo province .
Chombo also said those who do not respect the First Family do not deserve to be in the party. His visit follows Mrs Mugabe ‘s cancellation of her scheduled rally two weeks ago -fearing a hostile reception from pro-Mnangagwa members. However it has emerged members of the provincial executive are unfazed by Chombo’s threats. Sources in the party told ZimEye.com hey remain resolutely behind Emmerson Mnangagwa. To date party regalia has been printed for the first time since independence 1980, bearing Mnangagwa’s face.

Behavior breeds behavior, You respect yourself and respect other people , people will reciprocate the behavior. But kungo tuka vanhu every opportunity you get people will reject you . Masvingo has spoken the damage is done . Chero G40 ika bararaza Masvingo yaramba. Mamwe maprovince inongova nyaka nyaka. The ‘ unconquerable’ is now standing on quick sand .Not so unconquerable now.
Respect is not forced unto people.You earn respect through your deeds.No one must be forced to respect Grace.People respected Sally Mugabe, because she was a well mannered educated lady from a well mannered family.Chombo must first ask the people to respect Munangagwa, then people can listen to him.He must tell Grace to respect the two Vice Presidents whom he belittles on the grounds of her being first lady.Masvingo has spoken, and if you want it to speak again, it will do so and Manicaland will follow suit.You can not force Grace on the people after what Mugabe has done to the country.Your intelligence rates below that of a chimpanzee.Cant you see that people are respecting Mugabe just to disappear peacefully by the grace of the Lord.After that , no more coercion and this madness gushungo gushungo.You must go and do that in Zvimba not in Masvingo.Is it a problem if people openly supports the VP Mnangagwa who was appointed by the president? Mugabe must come open if he is the one promoting this trial and error.If he is, then Masvingo will disown him because as a province we have nothing to get from ZANU.We have mooemishes here in the likes of Muzembi, Mahofa, Hungwe,who do not even know how the people survive
