President Emmerson Mnangagwa has warned Zanu PF rebels against using his name to score political marks.

Mnangagwa has also castigated independent candidates who claim to be Zanu PF members.

At a rally held in Gokwe today Mnangagwa said: “If you an independent candidate then it means you are no longer part of Zanu PF.

I have received reports about individuals who are using my name to gain political ground.

I do not work with rebellious characters, please go and tell those people to stop tarnishing my image.”

“Genuine party members will not stand as independent candidates and those who are doing so are rebels.

In Zanu PF we do not have room for malcontents who are determined to soil our reputation,” added Mnangagwa.
