The ruling ZANU PF party has poured scorn on the launch of Saviour Kasukuwere’s political movement, “Tyson Wabantu” in Bulawayo on Thursday.
ZANU PF national spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo dismissed Kasukuwere as a dreamer and nonentity. Said Moyo:
The launch of the movement is insignificant and meaningless to us. He is representing nothing. That movement has no bearing on Zanu PF. We are a mass party which has a vast support base. We don’t lose sleep on that nonentity. He is just but a dreamer.
Kasukuwere is a former ZANU PF bigwig who now lives in self-imposed exile in South Africa.
His movement, consisting of disgruntled former ZANU PF supporters, distributed flyers and T-shirts branded “Tyson Wabantu” in Bulawayo’s suburbs.
