Former Zanu-PF politburo member and leader of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Daniel Shumba has claimed that he was expelled from Parliament by Zanu-PF because he would have exposed President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his allies for plundering resources.
Speaking to NewsDay, Shumba said,
I was neither G40 nor Lacoste in Zanu PF and they used those allegations to remove me from Parliament so that they dismember me because I refused to plunder and steal with them and, therefore, did not fit into their agenda…I was fired because as chairperson of the Parliamentary Mines and Energy Committee, I raised issues about SMM, externalisation of gold and diamond revenue, and those were uncomfortable truths to the extent that I was exposing the whole coup operators and Mnangagwa whom you call President, but he is a coup conspirator whom I would not recommend as President for the people of Zimbabwe.
