By Paul Nyathi|The ZANU PF commissariat has thrown away submissions by the Matabeleland South Provincial Coordinating Committee on candidates to represent the party in the forthcoming national elections.

The PPC met in Gwanda on Monday and rejected a list of candidates presented to it by the head office in Harare. The list of candidates included Minister of Provincial Affairs for the province Abednico Ncube who lost primary elections to ZBC staff member Omphile Marupi.

The province also disputed the inclusion of estranged wife to Vice President Kembo Mohadi, Tambudzani, who the province replaced with Provincial Chairman Rapelang Choene.

Presenting the final list of the ZANU PF candidates going into the nomination court on Thursday, the party Secretary for Administration Dr Obert Mpofu ignored the submissions made by the province retaining Ncube as the candidate for Gwanda South.

The move is likely to cause serious clashes between party members at the nomination court.
