Prominent businessman Cde Tafadzwa Musarara and several senior ZANU PF officials have lost their party positions following disciplinary proceedings targeting alleged internal conflicts and misconduct.

The measures are outlined in a Central Committee report presented at the ruling party’s 23rd National People’s Conference, detailing disciplinary decisions involving officials from Mashonaland Central and Midlands provinces.

Musarara was removed as chairman of the Mazowe District Coordinating Committee (DCC), with his case referred to the National Political Commissar (NPC) for conflict management and resolution amid reported disagreements with provincial leadership.

The report also records the expulsion of Cde Loice Chenjerai from Mashonaland Central and Cde Pearson Mbalekwa from Midlands Province.

In Mashonaland Central, Cde Noviet Muponora was relieved of his duties as Provincial Secretary for Legal Affairs and prohibited from contesting any party position for two years.

Other officials affected by the disciplinary measures include Cde Rolson Mutunda, who was removed as Secretary for Administration in the Muzarabani DCC, and Cde Five Zachariah, who lost his position as Secretary for Finance in the same district structure.

Cde Tapera Saizi received an oral reprimand.

In Midlands Province, Cdes Tremendous Musara, Henry Mushava and Andrew Mavhima were referred to the NPC for formal conflict management and resolution.

The report further states that Cde Naiphet Chauke was cleared of the allegations against him, with the matter referred to the Mberengwa Rural District Council for the necessary administrative procedures.

The disciplinary decisions reflect the party’s handling of internal disputes and changes to leadership positions across the two provinces.
