Wilson Khumbula, also known as Kujokochera, is a Zimbabwean politician and businessman. He is a former leader of the Zimbabwe African National Union - Ndonga (ZANU-Ndonga), and arguably dissolved the faction in 2015, 2018, and 2021 to join ZANU-PF. He was one of the early members of ZANU-Ndonga, which formed in 1963 under Ndabaningi Sithole. Early life Khumbula is from Checheche Growth Point in the Chipinge South area of Manicaland, Zimbabwe. Military service During the Rhodesian Bush War, Khumbula worked with Maurice Nyagumbo to recruit soldiers to fight for liberation. He was arrested in 1975 and was sentenced to ten years at Harare Central Prison before being released in 1978 due to the signing of the Internal Settlement. He was arrested again later that year and sentenced to six years at Chikurubi Prison until the Lancaster House Agreement in 1979. At some point, he was also tortured and incarcerated at Hwahwa Prison in Gweru. After the war, he remained active in ZANU-Ndonga alongside party leader Ndabaningi Sithole. Career In the 1995 Zimbabwean parliamentary election, Khumbula was elected as the Zimbabwe House of Assembly representative for Chipinge North alongside Ndonga leader Ndabaningi Sithole, who represented Chipinge South. Ndonga was the only opposition party represented in the 1995 parliament. Khumbula won the only House seat for Ndonga in the 2000 parliamentary election and subsequently ran for president in 2002, where he received less than 1% of the vote. Khumbula lost his House seat in 2005 and his bid in the 2013 election. In 2018, he sought to represent Chipinge South as a member of ZANU-PF, but lost to Enock Porusingazi. He supported ZANU–PF presidential candidate Simba Makoni in the 2008 Zimbabwean general election. Khumbula took over as president of ZANU-Ndonga following the death of Sithole in 2000. In 2018, Denford Musiyariri claimed that Khumbula had been expelled from the party in 2005 and replaced with Rev. Dr. Fred J. Gomendo. He was later reinstated and served as president until 2015, when he left to join ZANU-PF and Musiyariri himself took over as president. Musiyariri joined the MDC Alliance ahead of the 2018 election to oppose ZANU-PF. As of 2021, Khumbula and Musiyariri are each referred to as the ZANU-Ndonga president across different sources.
