MASVINGO — Members of the Zanu PF women’s and youth leagues recently got the shock of their lives after they were chased away from the Great Zimbabwe University graduation for showing up at the ceremony in party regalia.
The angry supporters were escorted out of the university campus by security personnel who told them that the graduation was not a party event.
Chaos broke out after the supporters started toyi-toying and chanting Zanu PF slogans, accusing the security details of being MDC supporters.
The frustrated women led by self-styled war collaborator and special interest Masvingo urban councillor Namatai Chivhanga then resorted to insulting the security details accusing them of being “MDC people”.
“We do not understand why these MDC people are sending us away because we are wearing this regalia to welcome our party president Cde Mugabe,” she said.
However, the guards remained unfazed saying the graduation ceremony was not a Zanu PF rally.
Zanu PF provincial chairman, Lovemore Matuke was fuming after the fracas.
“I don’t see anything wrong with my comrades putting on our regalia because we are here to meet our president who is the first secretary of Zanu PF and the Commander-in-Chief of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces,” he said.
“Since he is the commander, does it mean that soldiers here should take off their uniforms? These guys are just crazy.”
Mugabe is the chancellor of all state universities that include Great Zimbabwe University.
