In his final act, Matamadanda wrote a circular to all Zanu PF DCCs elected recently warning them against divisive acts including “de-campaigning party sitting councillors and MPs.” The abrasive Gokwe Central MP will also likely lose his parliamentary seat and his position as secretary general of the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans’ Association. George Charamba, the spokesman for the presidency, also confirmed that Matemadanda had lost his role as deputy defence minister and would be appointed to a foreign mission as ambassador.Ĭharamba said Matemadanda’s reassignment was a “higher responsibility,” downplaying his unexpected removal. Mnangagwa dropped Matemadanda from Zanu PF’s powerful Politburo last Wednesday amid growing divisions in the party over the recent District Coordinating Committee (DCC) elections. HARARE – President Emmerson Mnangagwa fired Zanu PF’s political commissar Victor Matemadanda after he was accused of fanning divisions, reports said.
