President Emmerson Mnangagwa has warned that he will deal with his corrupt officials in Zanu PF without fear or favor.

Addressing hundreds of villagers who converged at Kondo Primary School in Chipinge to witness him officially opening the rehabilitated Tanganda-Ngundu Highway on Monday, Mnangagwa spoke to recent revelations by ZANU PF youth that some senior ruling party officials were highly corrupt and needed to be kicked out of the party.

“Ndouya panyaya yohuwori regai ndikutaurirei pasi nehuwori. Huwori hahuna mutupo. Mitupo yose motova neumwe ari muhuwori. Hamungandiudzi kuti mutupo wokuti haubi kune vanonyanya ndoupi uyoyo. Mutupo upi unonyanya? Hakuna mutupo usina mbavha mukati saka hatitsvagi mbavha nomutupo totsvaga nemabasa emunhu. Musazoti nhingi anangwa nekuti mupfupi nhingi anangwa nekuti anoyera moyo, aiwa, munhu anonangwa nemabasa ake aanenge aita. Kana usingadi kunangwa shanda wakarurama.

“Hard and honest work will give you respect today and tomorrow and after your death you will be remembered for being a hard working Zimbabwean who was honest,” said President Mnangagwa.

He said citizens knew corrupt individuals and must report them to the police.

The ZANU PF youth league last week circulated a list of senior government and party officials they claimed were very corrupt and destroying the country.

Top on the list was ZANU PF Secretary for Administration Obert Mpofu. Mnangagwa has since promised to set up a commission of inquiry into the corruption allegations.

The nation eagerly awaits to see the commission through and action which Mnangagwa will take there after.
