OPPOSITION MDC-T LEADER NELSON CHAMISA has hit out at former deputy prime minister Thokozani Khupe, describing her as a wayward politician who was trying to appoint herself party leader.
 
Khupe was expelled from the party after it emerged that she had officially notified the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) that she will represent the MDC in the 2018 Presidential election.
 
Gutu scorned at the decision saying; “What happened on Friday (the alleged expulsion) is a joke that is not even funny.
 
“If we want to be entertained, we would rather go to a proper circus. Theirs is a circus that does not provide entertainment; that is how cheap it is.
 
“How are we fired from an organisation which we are not part of? As you all know, we were in Bulawayo last Sunday.
 
“We had a very successful rally where we made it very clear and unambiguous that we are dissociating ourselves from an organisation that does not respect the constitution and is driven by violence, intolerance and thuggery.
 
“We are the real, rightful and legitimate MDC that believes in constitutionalism. This is why we are working with our structures to arrange an extraordinary congress in April where we will be electing a legitimate president.” Source – NewZimbabwe.com
 
www.newzimbabwevision.com says, this is the second major split in the MDC since its formation in 1999 and just at the previous split in 2005, this is another break up that MDC will live to regret due to the simple failure to resolve its internal leadership battlle as the 2018 harmonised elections draw closer. However Mnangagwa, Zanu pf stalwarts and securocrats are obviously pleased that so close to the watershed national elections, MDC is clearly falling apart in their view. More news to follow.
