‘Undisclosed Sum Estimated, Thousands In MDC T Contributions, Disappears’

AN UNDISCLOSED sum of money probably running into thousands of dollars in contributions made by ordinary and executive members of the opposition MDC-T has reportedly disappeared.

Early this year the opposition party, faced with a crippling financial crisis, appealed to its membership to make donations ranging from $1 for ordinary members to $50 for National Executive Council members. The MDC-T suffered a massive dip in donor support following its humiliating loss to Zanu-PF in the 2013 harmonised elections and the subsequent split last April.
Insiders told NewsDay the cash whose amount was not ascertained could not be accounted for.

“The money was being channelled through an EcoCash number (a mobile money transfer service run by Econet Wireless) registered in the name of Edith Muyaka (party leader Morgan Tsvangirai’s private secretary) and now nobody has the faintest idea of how much was raised or where the money has gone. Nobody has summoned the guts to ask because it is a very sensitive matter,” an impeccable source said.
