By A Correspondent| Former Minister of State Water Resources and Infrastructural Development, Munacho Mutezo, has been expelled from Zimbabwe People First (ZimPF) for his failure to repay a loan he got from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ).

Mutezo’s name appeared on a list of RBZ’s farm mechanization scheme beneficiaries released by UK based political analyst Dr Alex Magaisa.

The ex-minister accessed more than US$300 000 worth of farming machinery from the RBZ between 2007 and 2008 under the controversial Farm Mechanisation Programme.

Stephen Mazanza, the party spokesperson told a local online news organisation that Mutezo, through his actions, had breached the ZimPF constitution.

“It has come to our attention that our Vice President Eng. Munacho Mutezo benefited from the controversial Farm Mechanisation Programme, which dished out millions of public funds to senior Zanu-PF, well-connected individuals and government officials,” said Mazanza.
