Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans’Association (ZNLWVA) chairman Christopher Mutsvangwa said the association’s secretary
general Victor Matemadanda wants to take over as leader.

Mutsvangwa said Matemadanda has been trying to change the war veteran’s leadership for sometime without success. Mutsvangwa told
Zimlive.com that Matemadanda was working with Mnangagwa. Said Mutsvangwa: They said they want to anoint him as the leader of war veterans because he is the only war veteran in a leadership position who won a parliamentary seat in the July 30 general elections, all others fell by the wayside.
(Matemadanda) has been trying to
change the leadership, but he is
meeting a lot of resistance from
everybody. Except Mashonaland West, other provinces are saying this is nonsense.”
