Harare - Two former allies of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe whom he fired last year are suing the 91-year-old leader and his Zanu-PF party for unfair dismissal and for breaching the party's constitution, court papers seen by Reuters showed.
Mugabe, who has ruled Zimbabwe since independence in 1980, changed the party's constitution ahead of Zanu-PF's December congress to allow him to appoint his two deputies himself rather than having them elected by the party.
Rugare Gumbo, once the Zanu-PF spokesperson, and Didymus Mutasa, the party's former secretary general, say in their lawsuit, which also targets a former party chairperson, that these changes were illegal.
