Zanu PF throws Wadyajena under the bus
Zanu PF spokesman Christopher Mutsvangwa
ZANU PF yesterday expressed fears that Gokwe-Nembudziya legislator Justice Mayor Wadyajena’s US$5,8 million fraud charge may cost the ruling party dearly in today’s by-election set for Gokwe-Kabuyuni.
The seat fell vacant after the death of Zanu PF legislator Leonard Chikomba in a car accident.
Zanu PF and the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) have emerged as frontrunners in the by-election.
Addressing a Press conference in the capital yesterday, Zanu PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa indirectly threw Wadyajena under the bus and said the fraud case had a bearing on the vote outcome.
He is charged alongside his accomplices, Cotton Company of Zimbabwe (Cottco) managing director Pious Manamike, marketing manager Maxmore Njanji, Fortunate Molai also of Cottco and Chiedza Danha, director for Pierpont Moncroix Mauritius.
Wadyajena faces fraud and money-laundering charges involving US$5,8 million.
