President Emmerson Mnangagwa has cancelled his star rally that was scheduled for Mucheke Stadium tomorrow in the ancient city of Masvingo.

Party sources told ZimEye.com Mnangagwa cancelled the rally due to a hectic schedule.

The veteran politician and Robert Mugabe’s henchman for more than three decades faces stiff challenge from youthful MDC Alliance Presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa in the July 30 plebiscite.

Zanu PF sources said a new date for Mnangagwa’ s rally would be announced.

“The President is no longer coming to Masvingo tomorrow. We will update our members on the new date of rally very soon,” party officials said.
