They wanted, for the first time ever, to have President Robert Mugabe's own position contested at the party congress. The fourth five-yearly congress of Zimbabwe's ruling party, Zanu PF, was thrown into turmoil with the suspension of six provincial chairpersons and strong censure of Information Minister Jonathan Moyo.
