By A Correspondent- The late Vice President, Joshua Nkomo’s son is tipped to be nominated to lead his father’s ZAPU.

According to Newsday Sibangilizwe Nkomo’s name was forwarded from the party’s Kezi branch in Matabeleland South.

“His name has been submitted by his district. They want him to lead the party and if the nomination is accepted, he will be one of the contestants for the presidency,” reports the private daily newspaper.
