Jane Mlambo| In a turn of events following his widely condemned remarks in support of Zanu PF in the run up to the July 2018 elections, Chief Fortune Charumbira has dumped his party.

In a story published by the Mirror, Chief Charumbira said he does not have a Zanu PF card, accusing the ruling party of losing the ideals of the liberation struggle.

“I don’t carry a Zanu PF card and I don’t belong to any party. There are certain things that Zanu PF has lost like the ideals of the liberation struggle. The party has become greedy and corrupt,” said Charumbira.

Charumbira caused a stir last year when he openly declared his allegiance to Zanu PF.

He was later taken to court and was instructed to withdraw his remarks but he has not done so to this day.

Could this be his damascene moment?
