A senior ZANU-PF official has disclosed that businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei provided essential financial support that helped the ruling party secure victory in the 2013 general elections. Webster Shamu, who served as national political commissar at the time and currently holds the position of national deputy secretary for commissariat, made the revelation during a provincial coordinating committee meeting in Chinhoyi, Mashonaland West province. He stated that Tagwirei supplied fuel and transportation resources to the commissariat department during the campaign.
The 2013 election saw ZANU-PF under Robert Mugabe compete against Morgan Tsvangirai's MDC-T opposition, ultimately winning a two-thirds parliamentary majority. Tagwirei has since received recognition for his agricultural contributions through the command agriculture program and was recently appointed to the ZANU-PF central committee representing Harare province. He has subsequently appeared at political rallies supporting President Emmerson Mnangagwa's economic policies.
