Zanu PF, MDC Alliance speak on ANC chaos
BY MOSES MATENGA/RICHARD MUPONDE
Zanu PF yesterday said it would not interfere in the internal fights of South Africa’s ruling party and fellow liberation movement, African National Congress (ANC).
ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule was last week suspended by the party and ordered to “step aside” in a party resolution that ordered all leaders that were implicated in acts of corruption to temporarily step aside until their cases were finalised.
Magashule last year led the ANC delegation to Zimbabwe to deal with the political crisis here.
He defied his suspension last week and instead, counter-suspended South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, whom he alleged had corruption allegations to answer to also.

“Hello, colleagues. This Saturday we have an inter-district meeting in Chinhoi (sic). We want to have a smooth and productive meeting and l expect our leadership in Chinhoi (sic) to mobilise bona fide delegates only for this meeting,” a notice reportedly issued by Paradza to Makonde DCC members reads.

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) Robert Mugabe will be buried at a hilltop shrine reserved exclusively for Zimbabwe’s ruling elite, an official said Saturday, as the southern African nation began several days of official mourning.
Mugabe, who was 95 when he died Friday in Singapore, will be laid to rest in Harare at the National Heroes Acre, which has been set aside for Zimbabweans who have made huge sacrifices during the war against white-minority rule and who dedicated themselves to the nation, which emerged from the ashes of colonial Rhodesia.
