JUST a number of months in the past, it seemed virtually sure that factional wars in Zanu PF had buried Justice Mayor Wadyajena.

Yet, Mayor’s detractors, particularly in his turbulent Midlands Province, forgot one factor: time and time once more, all through his switchback profession in enterprise and politics, he has been dismissed, written off and counted out, solely to bounce again stronger, like some magical, flagitious rubber ball.

As a businessman, he suffered a severe blow when he and 5 others have been falsely implicated in a manufactured fraud scandal at COTTCO which led to the seizure of his private autos and his haulage vans, grounding his operations.

In the ruling social gathering, Zanu PF, he misplaced the first election to long-term adversary, Flora Buka – threatening an finish to his political profession.

As if that was not sufficient, his nemeses wasted no time making an attempt to “finish him off”, orchestrating his suspension from the social gathering and baying for an outright expulsion solely to be saved by the President who vowed that Wadyajena was by no means to be suspended.

It was a battle on a number of fronts as he additionally confronted severe felony allegations that might have seen him doing time, plenty of time.

His enterprise acquired grounded, too after the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) obtained an order for the seizure of his oft seen high-end haulage vans, alongside together with his extraordinarily excessive worth private vehicles. Done with within the eyes of his adversaries and largely understood on the time to be politically motivated, he had lived the final of his 9 lives.

But, earlier than they’d completed inscribing the epitaph, he was again and having the proverbial final snort. Back within the social gathering and maybe larger than ever earlier than in enterprise.

Being the litigious strategist he’s, he took the authorized route, combating his option to the best courtroom within the land, the Supreme Court. A bench of essentially the most esteemed judges concluded emphatically there had by no means been any proof backing COTTCO and ZACC’s outlandish claims of fraud and cash laundering, proving the extensively acknowledged suspicion that each one authorized actions in opposition to him and the COTTCO six had been political.

Resultantly, ZACC was pressured to confess its preliminary case was baseless and with out advantage at regulation. A convincing success for the firebrand former MP.

The Central Committee, ZANU PF’s principal coverage organ overturned Wadyajena’s suspension which had been orchestrated by his rivals within the Midlands province, spearheaded by the vengeful Edson Chakanyuka Chiherenge, the Provincial Chairman extensively regarded as a fence-post tortoise to a different overly bold midlands ‘king-maker’.

It’s being reported that the identical Chiherenge is dealing with ouster from the Midlands Province for failing to point out help for the President.

The Central Committee really went on to raise the suspensions of all of the others there, bringing an finish to a niggling political massacre that had left the Midlands crippled and reeling; Such is the extent of Wadyajena’s affect. The determination adopted widespread hearings which discovered the suspensions of Wadyajena and co. to be nothing however malicious overtures that wanted no sanction by the organ.

According to the Central Committee report, ZANU PF nationwide Chairperson Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri presided over twenty-three disciplinary hearings overlaying eight provinces.

“The National Chairman presided over meetings of the National Disciplinary Committee (NDC) that made determination of 23 cases submitted to it under article 3_ section 513 to 535 of the ZANU PF constitution,” the report reads.

In the Midlands province, greater than 30 members have been suspended beneath the chairmanship of Edson Chiherenge.
The appeals in opposition to suspensions have been concluded and lifted en mass in response to the report.

Wadyajena had been suspended along with Florence Rwodzi, and a number of other different senior executives within the Midlands province for allegedly undermining the social gathering’s candidates within the 2023 basic elections, a cost discovered by the NDC to be nothing however trumped up.

Now, he’s again to his influential place as Chairman of the ZANU PF Gokwe North District Coordinating Committee (DCC). Also reinstated was Florence Rwodzi,the Secretary for Production and Labour within the Midlands Provincial Women’s League.

Other suspensions got to Peace Tavengwa, Godfrey Hofisi, and Catherine Mandenda.

The Central Committee report additionally point out that the circumstances of Ignatius Chombo, Robert Nyemudzo, Paul Chimedza have been concluded and beneficial for readmission into the social gathering whereas some suspensions have been lifted.

On the enterprise entrance, the High Court ordered a launch of his vans and all the opposite autos after he was cleared of any wrongdoing within the corruption case.

The uplifting of his suspension has left his enemies with an egg within the face, however what shouldn’t be misplaced on anybody is the truth that he has at all times had the blessing of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who stood by him via each debacle.

Even when the Zanu PF factional wars have been raging like a wild fireplace in 2014, a time when the charismatic younger politician was focused for the chop by a camp aligned to the then Vice President Joice Mujuru, he survived and did so with aplomb.
Then got here the perilous event when he was focused by the then political commissar, Saviour Kasukuwere between 2015 and 2017, which yielded the identical outcome, in opposition to the percentages.

One may conclude he has a particular sauce or an plain political backing dedicated to his longer-term political profession that sees him rebound efficiently repeatedly. With the present catfights in ZANU PF, his readmission must be telling. The query begs, who’s on whose aspect and who backs those who bayed for his blood in opposition to Mnangagwa’s will?, What could possibly be their very own destiny when the endgame is nigh.

One would say the current historical past in Zanu PF is replete with telling examples which solely essentially the most dim participant can overlook, to their very own peril.
