Emmerson Mnangagwa
MASVINGO – While the just concluded DCC elections could have dealt a body blow to unity in the ruling Zanu PF party, in Masvingo Province President Emmerson Mnangagwa has tightened his power grip as all those who romped to victory are his strong allies.
Sources close to the goings on in Masvingo told The Mirror that Mnangagwa was keeping a close eye on Masvingo as he wanted to consolidate his power hence the deployment of his blue-eyed homeboy, Joram Gumbo to ensure that there is no misstep.
“The deployment of Gumbo was not by coincidence, Mnangagwa wanted to make sure that all goes according to plan, mind you he is the one who superintended the contentious provincial chairmanship elections which were repeated twice with Mnangagwa’s strong ally Ezra Chadzamira winning on both occasions.
