Deputy Minister of ICT, Postal and Courier Services, Dr Win Mlambo was denied clearance by the ZRP to hold a rally in Chipinge South. Mlambo who is the MP for Chipinge East was barred by armed riot police from a meeting in Chipinge South over the weekend. Two weeks ago, he had to flee from a rally after it was disrupted by rowdy youths allegedly from another faction.
Mlambo confirmed the incident and accused Enock Porusingazi the Zanu PF MP for Chipinge South of sabotaging him. Mlambo is alleged to belong to the G40 while Porusingazi is alleged to be aligned to Lacoste Faction
Said Mlambo:
The police denied us clearance to hold the meeting. We had a truck full of people who wanted to defect to Zanu PF but we failed to hold our meeting because the police refused to clear us. There are party bigwigs who were afraid that they would be exposed by the people who wanted to defect to us so they connived to disturb the planned gathering. The (police) support unit came to restore order. Those big wigs lied to the police so that we are denied a clearance.
However, Porusingazi hit back saying:
It is true there are youth fighting for me in my absence because they are tired of Mlambo who is abandoning his constituency to cause chaos in a constituency that’s not his. He was recently ordered to abort a meeting at Checheche by riot police because the meeting was never cleared but now he is at it again.
