The Provincial Chair of ZANU PF Manicaland Tawanda Mukodza is accussed of hiring hooligans to block a Provincial Executive Council meeting in Mutare, the move that had been condemned as a desperate attempt to clove grip power, with party structures accusing Mukodza of financial betrayal, corruption, and defiance of national authority.
Sources close to the party reveal that Mukodza pocketed $100,000 donated by Wicknell and another $100,000 from the Presidential fund meant for the province's development. The funds, meant to strengthen the party's structures in Manicaland, never reached the intended beneficiaries, leaving cadres starved of resources.

Mukodza's leadership has also been marred by corruption, with positions in the party allegedly being sold to the highest bidder. Cadres who wish to serve are forced to pay for the privilege, turning the party's structures into a marketplace of corruption.
The Provincial Chair's actions have not gone unnoticed by the national leadership. He has been accused of ignoring directives from the top, including the postponement of the Mutare Presidential Launch. Mukodza defied the order, pushing ahead with the program in a show of arrogance and disregard for party discipline.
The final nail in the coffin was the forgery of Cde Paul Tungwarara's proof of residence, allegedly done on Mukodza's orders. The move was seen as a calculated attempt to manipulate the party's structures and drag the party's name into disrepute.
