War veterans besieged Zimbabwe's ruling party headquarters at the weekend, demanding the sacking of top officials recently given full-time posts there after they were retired from cabinet, reportedly.
They also allegedly tried to seize keys to the offices of some of the officials.
The war veterans accused the officials, including former home affairs minister, Obert Mpofu, former health minister David Parirenyatwa and former defence minister Sydney Sekeramayi of trying to undermine President Emmerson Mnangagwa "and engaging in corrupt activities".
Some were accused of harbouring loyalties to former president Robert Mugabe.
"Our people are suffering; there is no fuel, prices of basic goods are going up every day while these people are here seated and doing nothing. All they do is plot against the president to advance their agenda," war veteran official, Efanos Mudzimunyi said. "We want them out as quickly as possible."
