Claims are circulating that Zimbabwe People First is already divided, with younger party officials working to block those above 70 years from holding office.

Already, the likes of ex-Cabinet ministers Mr Rugare Gumbo,76, and Mr Didymus Mutasa ,81, have been relegated to an advisory pool of "elders" without voting powers.

Before last week's Press conference, Mr Gumbo was the group’s de facto spokesperson. That post has now been officially given to ex-journalist Mr Methuseli Moyo.

The national management committee comprises Dr Mujuru (president), Mr Mutasa (founding elder/advisor), Mr Gumbo (founding elder/advisor), Mr Sylvester Nguni and Cougan Matanhire (office of the president/secretariat), Mr Dzikamai Mavhaire (mobilisation), Mr David Butau (research and strategy) and Mr John Mvundura (external relations), Mr Moyo (information), Mr Gift Nyandoro (legal), Mr Christopher Ndiweni (provincial security).

Insiders told a local publication that younger members felt they had to act now to cement their positions lest they remain under the shadow of the expelled Zanu-PF officials.

Efforts to contact ZimPF spokeperson, Methusi Moyo, on the issue were unfruitful as the phone rang unanswered.
