Youths join anti-Moyo, Mahoka demo

• Mega demo on Sandi Moyo doorstep • Zanu-PF affiliates back ouster calls

ZANU-PF Women’s League members from across the country are planning a grand demonstration in Bulawayo today against the wing’s deputy chairperson Cde Eunice Sandi-Moyo and treasurer Cde Sarah Mahoka to send a clear message to the pair that its services are no longer needed in the revolutionary party.

Cde Sandi-Moyo is also Minister of State for Bulawayo Provincial Affairs.

The women will be joined by members of the Youth League in the demonstration.

Reports indicate that the demonstrators will hand over petitions from various provinces to the First Lady and Women’s League secretary Amai Grace Mugabe at Zanu-PF Headquarters on Monday.

This comes as Zanu-PF Youth League secretary Cde Kudzai Chipanga yesterday said they subscribed to the position taken by the Women’s League and had officially been invited to join the demonstrations.

Zanu-PF affiliate organisations shared similar sentiments, saying they would not fold their hands while the First Lady is abused by “greedy sisters.”

Cde Sandi-Moyo and Mahoka face expulsion over allegations of undermining the authority of Amai Mugabe, corruption, denigrating President Mugabe’s appointments and insubordination, as well as creating parallel structures in the Women’s League.

“We are headed for Bulawayo where (Cde) Sandi-Moyo hails from and all women from the 10 provinces will once again converge to show her that they no longer want her anywhere near power,” said one of the event organisers.

“The youths are also invited to the event and from here we want the chairpersons who received those petitions to hand them over to the First Lady likely on Monday. We are working on that event again.”

Cde Chipanga yesterday said they had accepted to join the protests following an invitation from the Women’s League.

“We got an official invitation from the Women’s League and we conveyed the information to our national and provincial structures to attend and support them,” he said.

“Pana Amai ndopane mwana, pane Women’s League ndopane mayouths. We subscribe to one centre of power which is vested in the office of the President. We support President
