Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Former ZANU PF National Youth Political Commissar, Godfrey Tsenengamu says he will never rejoin the ruling party.<\/p>\n

Tsenengamu was one of President Emmerson Mnangagwa\u2019s backers when he became ZANU PF leader in 2017 but was fired from the party on 4 March 2020 by a unanimous Politburo decision.<\/p>\n

He was expelled for not respecting senior ZANU PF members.<\/p>\n

In a post on Facebook after former ZANU PF Harare Provincial Youth chairman Jim Kunaka announced that he had rejoined the ruling party, Tsenengamu vowed never to rejoin ZANU PF. He said:<\/p>\n

My dear comrades, please stop speculating and spreading fake news about my coming back to ZANU-PF because it is not going to happen again.
\nHowever, I will not judge my brother Jim Kunaka for his decision to rejoin his former comrades in the same way I didn\u2019t judge Khupe, Sikhala, Biti, Welshman and team when they rejoined their former colleagues in the main opposition.<\/p>\n

In July 2022, Tsenengamu and Kunaka held media conferences where they said Mnangagwa should step down and allow Vice President Constantino Chiwenga to take over.<\/p>\n
