ZIMBABWE -BULAWAYO – Matabeleland South Governor Angeline Masuku on Thursday dropped out of the race to replace the late Vice President Joseph Msika. Instead she has thrown her weight behind National Zanu PF Chairman, John Nkomo.

 

 

Masuku said she was disturbed by reports that insinuated that she was also in the running for the Vice-President’s post, left vacant following the death of Vice-President Joseph Msika in August.

 

 

“I don’t want my name to be spoilt as I am a principled person. My name should remain clean,” she said.

 

“In my opinion we have a leader who has done well in the Zanu-PF Presidium for many years.

 

He has not failed and there is no reason why he should be removed now.

 

 

 

That person is John Nkomo and I believe he should be rewarded for his sterling performance by moving up the ladder.

 

“What some people are now trying to do is to take a grade three pupil and make her or him a deputy headmaster. That does not work.”

 

Masuku also said although she was the Governor of Matabeleland South, she did not belong to the province politically.

 

“Politically I belong to Bulawayo Province. I am only in Matabeleland South for Government work.

 

So I will not attend the Provincial Co-Ordinating Committee meeting in Gwanda in tomorrow because that is for Matabeleland South,” she said.

 

I only attend their meetings when they invite me to explain Government programmes or when I feel there is something that they should know pertaining to the Governor’s office.”

On Sunday Masuku attended a meeting called by the Zanu-PF Bulawayo Province, which endorsed Nkomo to take over the Vice-Presidency.

The province reportedly felt Nkomo had a national outlook, as the former PF-Zapu was not a party for the people of Matabeleland alone.

 

Others who attended the meeting were Sikhanyiso Ndlovu, Eunice Sandi-Moyo, Joshua Malinga, Absalom Sikhosana and Isaac Dakamela.

On Friday Matabeleland South Provincial Co-coordinating Committee will hold its meeting in Gwanda to nominate a person to fill the VP’s post.
