ZANU PF says it has not been formally approached by self-exiled former party members Jonathan Moyo and Patrick Zhuwao, and their intentions are not yet clear.
Moyo and Zhuwao jointly penned a letter to ZANU PF members on Tuesday apologising for associating themselves with the hashtag “ZANU PF Must Go”.
Speaking to The Sunday Mail, ZANU PF’s acting Secretary for Administration, who is also the party’s Secretary for Finance, Patrick Chinamasa, said that as former members, Moyo and Zhuwao know the party processes to follow if they want to rejoin the party. Said Chinamasa:
I can confirm that my attention has been drawn to the joint statement purportedly signed by Prof Jonathan Moyo and Patrick Zhuwao dated 15th November 2022 and circulating on social media, and addressed as an open letter to ZANU PF comrades.
My brief comment is, firstly, that is not direct communication with the ZANU PF party or ZANU PF leadership.
Secondly, this is not an application by Prof Jonathan Moyo and Patrick Zhuwao to rejoin ZANU PF.
There is no intention in the statement that they want to rejoin ZANU PF.
Chinamasa added that it was not clear what the duo intended to achieve by writing the letter. He said:
As you know, Prof Jonathan Moyo and Patrick Zhuwao are among the 26 members of the G40 cabal who were expelled from the party by the ZANU PF Central Committee meeting which met on the 19th of November 2017.
Thirdly, reading through the joint statement, it is not immediately clear what the intention in signing and circulating that statement is.
