The Zimbabwe Miners Federation has suspended with immediate effect its President Ms. Henrietta Rushwaya.
The association’s decision-making body which consists of members of the national executive, the council and regional representatives suspended Rushwaya for putting the name of the association into disrepute. Rushwaya was recently arrested at Robert Mugabe International airport when she was found in possession of 6kg of gold destined for Dubai allegedly without proper documentation.
Announcing the decision the ZMF national chairperson Mr. Makumba Njenje said Rushwaya’s deputy, Mr. Marufu Sithole would be acting President effective immediately.
Rushwaya is expected in court tomorrow and rumours of some members of the executive jostling to take over from her have started surfacing.
