Expelled former Chivi South MP, Killer Zivhu, has formally written to the Masvingo ZANU PF provincial leadership requesting to be re-admitted into the party.
In his letter to ZANU PF Masvingo provincial chairman and Zaka North MP, Robson Mavhenyengwa, Zivhu apologised for disregarding party protocol which resulted in his expulsion from the party in 2020. He wrote:
This letter follows my first letter of the 1st of March 2022 and the subsequent comment by Chivi DCC chairman submitted on the 23rd of March 2022.
First Cde chairman, I surrender myself to the revolutionary party, ZANU PF and apologetically regret my wrongdoing that violated the party’s constitution and its operational procedure, values and norms.
I apologise with my deepest sincerity and by way of this letter humbly apply for readmission.
Zivhu also denied reports that he engaged in negotiations with the opposition.
He claimed that it was the opposition that tried to influence him into becoming its member, adding that he refused and informed them that his home was and will always be ZANU PF.
Zivhu was expelled by the ZANU PF Politburo when it sat for its 340th Ordinary Session in June 2020 following a recommendation by the party’s National Disciplinary Committee (NDC).
His home province, Masvingo, then led by Ezra Chadzamira who was the chairman, had recommended having Zivhu expelled from the party over the disregard of party protocol.
Zivhu had used social media to push for a meeting between First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa and opposition leader Nelson Chamisa’s wife Sithokozile.
Meanwhile, Mavhenyengwa confirmed that Zivhu had formally written to the party, adding the provincial leadership was yet to look into the matter.
Mavhenyengwa affirmed that as per ZANU PF position if Zivhu was to be readmitted, he will start from cells as an ordinary member.
