ZANU PF Mberengwa North district executive member and prominent businessman, Tinashe Shumba has torched a tribal storm after he reportedly insulted members of the Lemba (VaRemba) community who refused to chant ruling party slogans as well as denigrate MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa.
Southern Eye is reliably informed that on Sunday, Shumba also known as Goga, had several meetings at Takarangana, Magavakava, Rusvinge and other areas in Mberengwa North where those who attended said he was canvassing for support to become the constituency MP in the next elections on a Zanu PF ticket.
Sources said when he reached Masarira Business Centre, he met a small group of people belonging to the Lemba tribe and tried to force them to chant Zanu PF slogans, but they refused.
Shumba defied lockdown guidelines by conducting meetings with Zanu PF supporters at Takarangana Business Centre as well as Magavakava area in Mberengwa where such supporters did not observe social distance nor wear masks.
The Lemba community is peace-loving but would not tolerate Goga’s thuggery and attempts to divide it by trying to force any of its members to chant Zanu PF slogans and denigrate Nelson Chamisa.”
