PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe yesterday reportedly cancelled the Zanu PF politburo meeting, initially scheduled for today, to entertain his guest, Lesotho’s King Letsie III, who is in the country on a four-day State visit.

Today’s meeting was expected to seal the fate of the party’s embattled political commissar Saviour Kasukuwere after all the party’s 10 provinces recently passed a vote of no-confidence in him.

Zanu PF secretary for administration Ignatius Chombo confirmed the cancellation, saying Mugabe had a busy schedule this week.

“Yes, the politburo has been postponed and all members are advised of the same. The President has a guest, so he has a busy schedule with the visiting King,” he said.

Mugabe is today set to leave for Victoria Falls to join the Lesotho monarch on a boat cruise in the Zambezi River.
