Civil Society Opposes Chief Charumbira's Bid For Pan African Parliament Presidency

Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition (CiZC) ha spoken out against Chief Fortune Charumbira’s bid for the presidency of the Pan African Parliament (PAP). Tabani Moyo, the spokesperson of PAP said,

Our position against Charumbira’s candidature is not in any way personal but re-emphasises our commitment to the rule of law and democracy…Charumbira stands accused of violating the Constitution of Zimbabwe by openly declaring on numerous occasions, his allegiance to the ruling party, Zanu PF in direct violation of Section 281 (2) of the Zimbabwean Constitution which stipulates that traditional leaders must not participate in partisan politics or further the interests of any political party or cause…he is therefore implicated in the trail of violence, abuses and heinous acts that characterised successive elections that kept the ruling party in power.
