The MDC-T led by Thokozani Khupe said it has adopted the MDC Alliance brand with immediate effect and will use the name when nominating candidates for by-elections on October 9.
This was revealed by the MDC-T acting chairman Morgen Komichi on Saturday. He was speaking at the Morgan Richard Tsvangirai House, formerly Harvest House to mark the 21st anniversary of the original MDC.
However, in a statement posted on Twitter, the MDC Alliance led by Nelson Chamisa insisted on its identity and vowed to settle the “battle” politically. The statement read:
We are the MDC Alliance. We contested the 2018 election as the MDC Alliance under the Presidency of Nelson Chamisa.
Our members were unlawfully recalled on account of being members of the MDC Alliance. This battle will be settled politically.
Political power lies in the people.
The development did not come as a surprise as George Charamba, who is the Deputy Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet (Presidential Communications), in July hinted that the Khupe-led party will take over the MDC Alliance name.
Charamba made the stunning revelations on July 20th this year during an exchange with MDC Alliance secretary for elections Jacob Mafume.
Mafume had mocked ZANU PF and its leaders for allegedly trying to create a coalition government with Khupe’s MDC-T.
But Charamba, in typically abrasive fashion, hit back at Mafume, telling him that Khupe has taken over the opposition party and very soon, Chamisa will lose even the name of the party. Charamba retorted:
Except you have no party while pretending to be in organized opposition!!! Khupe amhanya nechinhu!! (she is now in the driving seat). Very soon you will be interdicted from using MDC-Anything!!! Watch the space!!!
United Kingdom-based Zimbabwean academic, Alex Magaisa, who has been urging the MDC Alliance to drop the “toxic” MDC brand and adopt a new name, said:
What has just happened should not shock anyone who has been following the MDC saga. It was foreseeable and it was written. The most important question is the response, which should be ready. There has never been a better time to demonstrate that people do not vote for party names.

Cyber Liability Insurance for Small Business
Cyber Liability Insurance: Protection From Digital Risk
Small businesses face growing cyber risks, including phishing, ransomware, data breaches, and email compromise. Cyber liability insurance helps cover costs after a cyberattack.
A cyber insurance policy may help pay for investigation, legal fees, customer notification, credit monitoring, ransomware response, and business interruption.
Why Small Businesses Need Cyber Insurance
Hackers often target small businesses because they may have weaker security controls. A single breach can damage reputation and create expensive recovery costs.
Businesses that store customer data, accept online payments, or use email should consider coverage.
What to Compare
When comparing cyber insurance quotes, review coverage limits, exclusions, deductible amounts, ransomware coverage, and security requirements.
Conclusion
Cyber liability insurance is an important part of modern business protection. It can help reduce financial damage after a data breach or cyberattack.
