Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Malawian parliamentarian and presidential candidate at the Pan-African Parliament (PAP) Yeremia Chihana has accused South Africa of endorsing Zimbabwean senator, Chief Fortune Charumbira in the race for the hotly-contested post.<\/p>\n

Chihana apparently rejected the southern caucus\u2019s nomination of Zimbabwe\u2019s Chiefs Council president Charumbira as its official candidate for the PAP presidency by throwing his hat into the ring.<\/p>\n

Speaking to South African TV channel, Newzroom Afrika, in Midrand on Wednesday, Chihana accused South Africa of bias. He said:<\/p>\n

South Africa as a host country has shown bias towards Zimbabwe. South Africa is an independent country, they should have shown maturity and remember that they are a host country.<\/p>\n

When the (sitting) became hostile, members from the other countries decided to move out because we did not accept Pemmy [Majodina] as a candidate or ad hoc chair because it has been shown that the arrangement is provided by the camp in Harare that is fighting.<\/p>\n

It has also shown that South Africa is taking advantage of being the host country. They have taken a side, that they are supporting Charumbira and by taking sides, it puts other countries in a very awkward position.<\/p>\n

Majodina is the African National Congress\u2019 chief whip in the South African Parliament and an outspoken member of the Pan-African Parliament.<\/p>\n

She has been elected as the interim chairperson of the Southern Region Caucus of the Pan-African Parliament.<\/p>\n
