THREE former Zanu PF top politicians have made it into opposition MDC’s national executive council list of people appointed by party leader Nelson Chamisa.

Former Ministers of State for Masvingo Province Kudakwashe Bhasikiti, former Energy Minister Dzikamai Mavhaire and former Deputy Minister of Social Welfare Tracy Mutinhiri have been incorporated into the opposition party’s decision making body between congresses.

Mavhaire and Bhasikiti were kicked out of Zanu PF in 2014 together with former Vice President Joice Mujuru.

Mutinhiri was expelled in 2011 for “engaging in activities that are not in line with Zanu PF” before she joined the MDC.
