Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>ZANU PF has reinstated Robert Nyemudzo as the party candidate in Chipinge South constituency for the upcoming general elections, reported ZimLive.<\/p>\n

Nyemudzo was declared the winner of a 25 March ZANU PF primary election but was disqualified after being accused of brewing illicit beer which was sold at Checheche Growth Point.<\/p>\n

After Nyemudzo\u2019s disqualification, the party installed businessman Enock Porusingazi, who is the sitting legislator, despite coming second in the primaries.<\/p>\n

When Nyemudzo was disqualified, ZANU PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa said he (Nyemudzo) owned a factory brewing \u201cTumbwa\u201d, a harmful illicit brew. Mutsvangwa said:<\/p>\n

In Chipinge South, there was Robert Nyemudzo who was disqualified.<\/p>\n

The reason is that he allegedly owns a factory at his home and it is one of the biggest brewers of Tumbwa.<\/p>\n

I saw some frightening pictures of small bottles in their millions which are used to bottle this dangerous stuff.<\/p>\n

Nyemudzo later appeared before a magistrate charged with contravening the Harmful Liquids Act (Chapter 9:10) and was remanded to 24 April.<\/p>\n

But in an unexpected twist of events, Nyemudzo has since been cleared of any wrongdoing by the party.<\/p>\n

On Friday, he told State media that he was now the ZANU PF candidate in Chipinge South. Said Nyemudzo:<\/p>\n

I am very happy. Cde Porusingazi has pledged to work with me, and it is now a given, the party and the President will win resoundingly in Chipinge South because we are one.<\/p>\n

The party conducted its own investigations which cleared my name against those allegations, but protocol does not allow me to comment on that.<\/p>\n

Only the party\u2019s provincial leadership can comment on those issues.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, ZANU PF national political commissar Mike Bimha announced the party has concluded its final list of candidates for elections.<\/p>\n
