THE Nelson Chamisa-led MDC Alliance suffered another body blow last week after the MDC-T recalled six of its councillors in Harare, including mayor Herbert Gomba.
MDC-T acting secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora on August 14 wrote to Local Government minister July Moyo recalling Gomba and five other councillors from the City of Harare.

"We hereby notify your office that the following councillors have ceased to belong to the MDC-T which is a member of the MDC Alliance which was formed in terms of the constitutive agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto," part of Mwonzora's letter dated August 14, 2020, read.

"In terms of the agreement, seven political parties entered into a pre-election agreement known as the composite political agreement for purposes of contesting the 2018 elections."

The other recalled councillors are Hammy Madzingira, Kudzai Kadzombe, Gaud-encia Matere, Costa Mande and Happymore Gotora.

Four other MDC Alliance councillors were fired last month bringing the number to 10. These include Denford Ngadziore, Grisot Mandere, Jaison Kautsa and Tonderai Chakeredza.
The MDC Alliance had 45 councillors in Harare but the March Supreme Court ruling that nullified the appointment of Chamisa as MDC-T vice-president in 2016 by the late Morgan Tsvangirai has caused headaches over who controls elected officials after The Supreme Court judgment gave Khupe control of the party in an acting capacity for four months awaiting the holding of an extraordinary, congress.

Khupe has threatened to axe more councillors in what she said was a fight against corruption although observers accuse her of working with Zanu-PF to decimate Chamisa.

MDC Alliance secretary for presidential affairs Jameson Timba warned Moyo against entertaining the order to recall the councillors saying it was tantamount to corruption.

"The Supreme Court judgment which they purportedly derive their authority from in respect of the extension of their term office by a period of four months expired on July 31. Mwonzora and his cabal are not legitimate office bearers of the court-resurrected 2014 structures," Timba said.

"They are, therefore, not in a position to recall anyone. They cannot recall councillors from a party which they contested against in 2018 and were defeated. I know that there has been a lot of unlawful conduct and lawlessness in Zimbabwe. Any entertainment of unlawful correspondence by the Minister of Local Government will be an act of corruption," Timba added.

Moyo was not immediately available for comment but he recently fired the four Harare councillors on the basis of a letter from the MDC-T, Twenty one of Chamisa's MPs have been recalled while the youthful leader has also lost the party headquarters to Khupe.

Best CRM Software For Small Business Growth

Customer relationships are the heart of every business. As a company grows, it becomes harder to track leads, follow-ups, sales calls, emails, customer history, and deals manually. That is where CRM software can help.

rnrn

CRM stands for customer relationship management. It helps businesses organize customer information, manage sales pipelines, track communication, and improve follow-up.

rnrn

The best CRM software for small business should be easy to use. A complicated system may frustrate employees and go unused. Small businesses need software that saves time, not creates more work.

rnrn

Important CRM features include contact management, lead tracking, email integration, task reminders, sales pipeline views, reporting, automation, and mobile access.

rnrn

A good CRM helps prevent missed opportunities. For example, if a customer asks for a quote, the CRM can remind the sales team to follow up. If a lead is close to buying, the system can help track the next step.

rnrn

CRM software can also improve customer service. Team members can see past conversations, purchase history, complaints, and preferences. This helps customers feel remembered and valued.

rnrn

Automation is another benefit. A CRM can send follow-up emails, assign leads, create tasks, and track deal progress automatically.

rnrn

Before choosing a CRM, consider your business size, budget, sales process, number of users, and integration needs. Some businesses need a simple contact system, while others need advanced sales automation.

rnrn

Pricing can vary. Some CRM platforms charge per user per month. Others offer free plans with limited features.

rnrn

The right CRM can help a small business close more deals, stay organized, and build stronger customer relationships.

A CRM is not just software. It is a system for making sure customers do not fall through the cracks.
