ZANU PF leader Emmerson Mnangagwa has slammed the door on former NPF leader Ambrose Mutinhiri and former NPP founder, Didymus Mutasa who have both rejoined his party. Mnangagwa said former ZANU PF members who’ve returned to his party will not be given positions.

His remarks came following reports that Mutasa and Mutinhiri were set to be given senior positions.

Mnangagwa told the state broadcsster, ZBC News, not everyone who is in ZANU PF is loyal at heart. He used Biblical texts to make his illustration. Mnangagwa said, “Zanu-PF is a mass party. No question about that. Not everybody who is in Zanu-PF is actually Zanu-PF. It’s like those who go to church, not all of them who say Christ are Christians.

“The same is in Zanu-PF. The fact that it is a mass party we take the cue from former chairman Mao Tse Tung, who said as the revolution unfolds, some will fall by the wayside, but as they fall and want to come back you receive them back and re-orient them, but take heed that you don’t give them responsibility again.”
