Terrence Mawawa, Chipinge| Deputy Minister of Information Technologies, Postal and Courier Services, Dr Win Mlambo was forced to flee from a Zanu PF rally as marauding youths bayed for his blood.
Mlambo, a declared G-40 member had to leave the rally in a haste after rowdy party youths said to be sympathetic to Team Lacoste barred him from addressing the rally. The rally was held in Checheche last weekend.
The youths accused Mlambo of belittling Team Lacoste members. Mlambo is the MP for Chipinge East Constituency. Party sources said the angry youths mobbed Mlambo as he took to the podium to address the rally. The youths claimed Mlambo was working with First Lady, Grace Mugabe to disrupt the flow of party programmes.
The legislator said he fled from the scene because the party youths wanted to bash him for speaking out his mind.
“I went to the rally to welcome people who defected from Zim PF.The youths suddenly charged towards me and damaged the PA System in the process. I understand they were hired to cause havoc at the venue,” said Mlambo. However a Zanu PF youth, Betty Kudzai Dhliwayo, said Mlambo was disregarding party structures .
“This man thinks he is important, he will be cut to size. His wings have to be clipped. He is a menace in the constituency,” fumed Dhliwayo.
