By Own Correspondent| Setfree Mafukidze, a Zanu Pf activist has said people are afraid of leaving the party and the purging of G40 stalwarts provided opportunity for Zanu Pf supporters to leave the party.

He said some were liberated during the Gamatox expulsions of 2014.

The Gamatox expulsions refer to the firing from Zanu Pf of former Vice President Joyce Mujuru and her supporters.

They were accused of planning to push Mugabe from the party’s helm unconstitutionally.

Writing on microblogging site Twitter, Mafukidze said:

“I always try to make people understand,during my Zanu PF days yes there were bad and rogue elements in the party but not everyone was bad, some wanted out but they were afraid of what would befall them if they left the party.Many found a way in 2014 during Gamatox expulsions.”
