A declared Zanu PF activist has been appointed the new Chief Wedza in Zvishavane as the ruling party seeks to consolidate its support base in the area before the coming elections.

Ruling party insiders have indicated that Kennias Mnyamani Moyo is a Zanu PF activist.He was installed as Chief Wedza last week at a ceremony officiated by Midlands State Minister Owen Ncube.

Moyo’ s appointment is meant to drum up support for the ruling party because traditional leaders play a vital role in campaigning for Zanu PF, political observers have said.

“Moyo will obviously play a leading role in campaigning for the ruling party. This is a strategic move meant to drum up support for Zanu PF,” sources in Zvishavane said last week.
