Ncube to replace Moyo in Zanu-PF Women’s League

- Nduduzo Tshuma

THE Zanu-PF Bulawayo Provincial Women’s League has recommende­d Central Committee member Cde Judith Ncube to fill the vacant position of party deputy secretary for Women’s League once occupied by Cde Eunice Nomthandaz­o Moyo.

Cde Moyo and former Women’s League secretary for finance Cde Sarah Mahoka recently resigned from the organ over allegation­s of underminin­g First Lady and Secretary for the organ Dr Grace Mugabe, corruption, insubordin­ation and fanning factionali­sm.

The Bulawayo Women’s League also met last week where they called for the recall of Cde Moyo from Parliament following her resignatio­n from the Politburo.

The wing’s chairperso­n, Cde Eva Bitu, yesterday said a report had been sent to the First Lady and contained a recommenda­tion for Cde Ncube to replace Cde Moyo.

“After the meeting on Wednesday, we compiled our resolution­s and sent them to our boss the First Lady. We recommende­d that since Cde Ncube was the second most senior person after Cde Moyo before her resignatio­n, she is now the most senior in the province and therefore qualifies to fill the position of deputy secretary,” said Cde Bitu.

“What we do in the Women’s League is that the number one who is the most senior leader in the province becomes part of the top 10 in the national executive and the second most senior heads a department that is why Cde Ncube was secretary for Lands and Resettleme­nt as she was second after Cde Moyo.”

Cde Bitu said part of the report includes a recommenda­tion for Cde Moyo to be recalled from Parliament and Zanu-PF National Commissar Cde Saviour Kasukuwere to be relieved of his duties.

“We also raised it with the First Lady that since Cde Moyo resigned from the Politburo and Central Committee, she is now an ordinary member of the party and must be recalled from the proportion­al representa­tion seat in Parliament because she got it on the basis of being a member of the Women’s League,” she said.

“We reported to our mother that we also want Cde Kasukuwere to be removed from his position for causing confusion in the party and setting parallel structures as was highlighte­d by the women in the meeting last week.”

Mashonalan­d East on Wednesday became the seventh province to call for the expulsion of Cde Kasukuwere.

Only Matabelela­nd North, Matabelela­nd South and Manicaland are yet to take a position on the matter.
