HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) - The ruling party in Zimbabwe expelled one of its co-founders for insulting President Robert Mugabe in a recently published autobiography, a government newspaper reported.
A meeting of party leaders in Edgar Tekere's home district of Manicaland in eastern Zimbabwe, "unreservedly condemned" Tekere's book, "A Lifetime of Struggle," which was published in January and is selling briskly, according to the Sunday Mail.
In his book, Tekere said Mugabe lacked the charisma to support the founders of the current ruling party when they broke away from a liberation group. He said Mugabe did not favor the split, contrary to official party history that holds that Mugabe led the schism.
