Zanu-PF expels Mugabe challenger

By Cris Chinaka
Harare - Zimbabwe's ruling party on Wednesday formally expelled a former ally of President Robert Mugabe for launching a challenge to the veteran leader in next month's elections, a Zanu-PF official said.
Veterans of the country's liberation war have branded former Finance Minister Simba Makoni, a senior member of Zanu-PF, a traitor after he entered the race on Tuesday, in the first major challenge to Mugabe from within the ruling party in 20 years.
