Zanu PF chairman accused by Moyo of being a dictator and a liar |
2005-01-15 |
![]() He was in the government after President Robert Mugabe appointed him a non-constituency Member of Parliament under a constitutional clause allowing him to appoint 30 members to the House. But Mugabe has this time round promised not to appoint anyone to his Cabinet who is not elected in the March poll. Apparently frustrated at being banned from the general election and his dismissal earlier on by Mugabe from Zanu PF's key central and politburo committees, Moyo lashed out at Nkomo and Dabengwa who he accused of telling "primitive lies" about him to Mugabe. Moyo was fired from the party committees after he secretly attempted to block the appointment of Joyce Mujuru as Zanu PF's and Zimbabwe's second vice-president. Insiders said Mugabe was likely to view Moyo's outburst against Nkomo and Dabengwa as an attack on his authority, a development they said could see the former university political science teacher jettisoned from Zanu PF. |
