New MPs Take Oaths
25 September 2019
Two new members of the National Assembly were yesterday sworn in following their victories in by-elections held last month.
The two are Zanu-PF’s Hlalani Mguni, who won the Mangwe seat that fell vacant following the death of her husband Obedingwa Mguni and Vincent Tsvangirai who won the Glen View South by-election, replacing his late sister, Vimbai Tsvangirai-Java.
The new MPs took their oaths before Clerk of Parliament Kennedy Chokuda in terms of Section 128 (1) of the Constitution.
Obedingwa Mguni, who was Zanu-PF’s deputy chief whip, died from diabetes complications, while Mrs Tsvangirai-Java succumbed to injuries sustained in a road accident in May.State media
