By Talent Gondo| Zanu PF spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo has revealed that while he has not been offered a ministerial post in the yet to be announced cabinet, he is one of the party’s old leaders who was not ready “to discount themselves in advance”.

Khaya Moyo told a local daily that the selection of Cabinet ministers was Emmerson Mnangagwa’s prerogative, adding that none of the top party officials including the “old guard” could turn down an appointment.

He was responding to statements alleging that there is talk within the rank and file of Zanu Pf for the old leaders to pave way for the “Young Turks”.

Said Khaya Moyo:

“I have not heard of that conversation within the party, but what I know is that it’s the prerogative of the President to appoint the Cabinet, so we can’t speak on issues of speculation on things that have not yet happened.

I have not been offered a ministerial position and I will not speculate. I am not that kind of person who discounts themselves in advance.”-Newsday
