Events
Zanu PF internal politics
In November 2020, Mavenyengwa was elected Zanu PF Masvingo Province vice chairman replacing Ailes Baloyi who resigned from the post after being appointed Chiredzi RDC chief executive officer in September. He was elected on 7 November 2020 during the provincial executive committee (PEC) meeting held at Great Zimbabwe University School of Education where Retired Commissioner Addmore Veterai was also nominated but did not get a seconder.

In December 2021, Robson Mavenyengwa defeated Ezra Chadzamira to become Masvingo Zanu PF provincial chairman. However, Chadzamira appealed the outcome after he was humiliated in Gutu where he got 508 votes while Mavenyengwa got 8 098 votes. The districts were barred after it emerged that they did not have cells and branches and were doctored up during the district elections. Elections held in Masvingo Urban Ward 2 on 28 Decemebr 2021 were nullified and started afresh on 29 December 2021 after it emerged that 18 of the 40 voters were not in party structures. [2]
