Former Foreign Affairs Minister Walter Mzembi, once a prominent figure in the G40 faction, is free to rejoin Zanu PF—but only after undergoing thorough vetting processes, according to the party’s Director for Information and Publicity, Farai Marapira.
Marapira said Mzembi must first express a formal interest in rejoining the party before any steps are taken. There are reports that Zanu PF officials in Masvingo are lobbying senior party leaders to support Mzembi’s return.
Mzembi fled to South Africa in self-imposed exile following the November 2017 military intervention known as Operation Restore Legacy.
He left alongside other G40 kingpins, including Saviour Kasukuwere, Professor Jonathan Moyo, and Patrick Zhuwao.
Last week, Mzembi returned to Zimbabwe for the first time since 2018, ending years of exile that began amid corruption charges and allegations of political persecution.
