Terrence Mawawa, Masvingo | President Robert Mugabe has summoned Masvingo State Minister Shuvai Ben Mahofa and Psychomotor Minister Josaya Hungwe over the chaotic invasion of Tongaat Hulett land, government sources have revealed.
According to intelligence sources at Benjamin Burombo building, Mugabe has been angered by Mahofa and Hungwe’s role in the invasion of Tangaat Hulett sugarcane fields .
In what could be a dramatic turn of events after Mahofa openly defied Mugabe on the AU cattle donations,the 92 year old President is expected to visit Chiredzi on Saturday to reverse the taking over of the land.
It is understood Mugabe had a six hour meeting with 15 Zanu PF legislators from Masvingo Province and he told the MPs the process was unconstitutional.
Mugabe is said to be furious with Mahofa and Hungwe following their active role in the invasion of the sugarcane fields. Ironically Mahofa and Hungwe are key members of the Team Lacoste camp said to be backing Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who is widely believed to be angling himself to eventually succeed Mugabe.
“The President will be in Chiredzi on Saturday following the marathon meeting he held with 15 MPs in Harare last week. The President has vowed to confront Mahofa and Hungwe over their role in the chaotic invasion of Tongaat Hulett land. The issue will be addressed during a closed door meeting. We told the President that Hungwe and Mahofa are igniting factionalism in the province so heads will roll on Saturday,” said a government official in the Lands Ministry -who is also a prolific Zanu PF activist.
It is understood Mahofa and Hungwe played a leading role in the land grab programme that has resulted in a massive loss of jobs.
