By A Correspondent- Former Sports Minister Makhosini Hlongwane and ex-labour deputy minister Tapiwa Matangaidze, have been readmitted into the Zanu PF party.

They were expelled when then-Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa seized control of both the state and the party in a 2017 military assisted coup.

At the time, the ex-party officials were loyal to Generation 40, a party faction that was keen on then First Lady Grace Mugabe to succeed her husband, Mugabe.

Simon Khaya Moyo announced the readmission of the two Wednesday.
