Norton legislator Temba Mliswa is often regarded as a "fork-tongued" politician who talks too much and claims no allegiance to any political party by day, yet he allegedly supports Zanu-PF and President Emmerson Mnangagwa by night.

Mliswa recently drew the ire of female legislators when he bluntly told them in Parliament that their free 60 proportional representation seats should be cut to 20 as most of them were merely bench warmers.

The Norton MP and candidate for next month's elections told The Standard in an interview that he was a very liberal person, and like any Zimbabwean he was free to support his favourite candidate, Mnangagwa, for the presidency despite him being the leader of Zanu-PF, a party that he often blasted for corruption.

His forecast is that Mnangagwa will win the forthcoming elections because the white businesspeople who allegedly bankrolled the MDC-T in the past were now behind the new Zanu-PF leader.
