War veterans, who gathered in Chinhoyi recently mocked First Lady Grace Mugabe and Vice-President Phekezela Mphoko, saying they did not deserve their top positions in Zanu PF.
The former fighters also said it was unfortunate that the Zanu PF national disciplinary committee was full of povo (ordinary people, who did not fight in the liberation war) among them Grace, Zanu PF political commissar, Saviour Kasukuwere and Finance minister Patrick Chinamasa.
A female ex-combantant from Harare said,
The problem we have in the party is the disciplinary committee, which is comprised of povo like Amai Mugabe (Grace), Kasukuwere and Chinamasa, who is refusing to release money for our children’s school fees, and VP Mphoko, who was thinking of wedding in Maputo, Mozambique, in 1977, while others were in the battlefield.
