Jane Mlambo| Blessing Chebundo who twice defeated President Emmerson Mnangagwa in the Kwekwe Central parliamentary has been shortlisted among the 38 candidates who will be interviewed to sit on the Zimbabwe Anti Corruption Commission, raising questions if his nemesis now responsible for selecting the final names of commissioners will not use his power to snub him.

Chebundo who won the Kwekwe Central seat on an MDC ticket in the 200 and 2005 parliamentary elections forced Mnangagwa to move to Chirumhanzu-Zibagwe, a largely resettled area after it appeared he was never going to reclaim the constituency from the opposition.

The interviews set for the 21st of June will come up with a shortlist which will be forwarded to Mnangagwa to select the final list.

Should Chebundo make it to the final list, his fate will be determined by Mnangagwa whom he defeated left, right and centre in the Kwekwe parliamentary elections.

In the run-up to the July 2018 elections, Chebundo also appeared in a video in which he urged Zimbabweans to vote out Mnangagwa the Kwekwe style.

Will Mnangagwa select Chebundo?
