Acting MDC-T president Thokozani Khupe wants to claim ownership of the MDC Alliance name from the Nelson Chamisa-led party, an official confirmed yesterday. Khupe’s faction, which seized control of the MDC Alliance headquarters Morgan Richard Tsvangirai House with the assistance of police and army last month, recalled several parliamentarians and clandestinely received $7,5 million from government under the Political Parties Finances Act.
Khupe’s spokesperson Khalipani Phugeni claimed that the Chamisa faction was infringing on their rights by using the name MDC Alliance, adding that the MDC-T would soon move to stop the practice. “They are infringing our rights using the name MDC Alliance. We are going to assert our rights on the name very soon. The MDC Alliance is a pact that we entered into with seven other political parties and as MDC-T, we are the major partner in that agreement and those using that name are violating our rights,” he said.
Chamisa was elected leader of the MDC Alliance at the party’s congress in Gweru last year and has retained the support of the majority of parliamentarians and supporters of the party.
But MDC Alliance secretary for presidential affairs, Jameson Timba said Khupe’s latest move was not surprising and provided evidence that the former deputy premier was working with Zanu PF to destroy “the people’s project”.
“I am not surprised that she is saying that. She is following a Zanu PF script first tweeted by their President (Emmerson Mnangagwa)’s spokesperson, George Charamba. I am also aware she has tasked (party secretary-general Douglas) Mwonzora to find out whether Zec (Zimbabwe Electoral Commission) can transfer and add to her 45 000 the 2,6 million votes won by president Chamisa,” Timba said.
The MDC Alliance said Khupe and her team were against the formation of the alliance, disagreed with their late president Morgan Tsvangirai, and dumped him as he forged the agreement with the assistance of Chamisa.
“The whole country knows that Khupe parted ways with president Tsvangirai in July 2017 because she was opposed to the MDC Alliance,” Timba added.
“Unfortunately, for her the MDC Alliance is now a name of an integrated political party as opposed to an alliance of parties.
“Greed and envy is a sin before God and she must be content with what she has in the form of MDC-T. She can’t unfortunately try to reap where she did not sow, the earlier she learns these lessons of life the better for her and those who follow her.” Charamba on his Twitter handle @jamwanda2 said Chamisa would soon be left without a party name and it appears Khupe is following the script.

High-Yield Savings vs CDs: Emergency Cash Comparison
Emergency cash should be safe, accessible, and separated from everyday spending. That is why many people compare high-yield savings accounts and certificates of deposit. Both can pay interest, both can be offered by banks or credit unions, and both can be useful. But they are not designed for the same purpose.
A high-yield savings account is a deposit account that typically pays a higher interest rate than a traditional savings account. It is designed for liquidity. You can usually transfer money when needed, making it a good option for emergency funds, short-term savings, tax reserves, travel funds, and upcoming bills.
A certificate of deposit, or CD, is a time deposit. You agree to leave money with the bank or credit union for a set term, such as a few months or several years. In exchange, the institution may offer a fixed rate. If you withdraw early, you may pay an early withdrawal penalty. That makes CDs less flexible than savings accounts but potentially useful for money you do not need immediately.
The first question is purpose. If the money is truly for emergencies, access matters more than chasing the highest rate. A job loss, car repair, medical bill, or home repair may require quick cash. A high-yield savings account is usually better for the core emergency fund because it keeps money available.
CDs can work for extra cash beyond the basic emergency fund. For example, if you want to earn interest on money set aside for a future down payment, tuition bill, or planned purchase, a CD can help lock in a rate. Some savers use a CD ladder, dividing money among several CDs with different maturity dates. This creates periodic access while still earning fixed rates.
Interest rate risk matters. A high-yield savings rate can change at any time. When market rates fall, the account yield may fall too. A CD rate is usually fixed for the term, which can be helpful if rates decline after you open it. But if rates rise, your money may be locked into a lower rate unless you accept a penalty or use special CD types.
Liquidity is the biggest difference. Savings accounts usually allow easier transfers, although banks may have transaction policies and processing times. CDs restrict access until maturity. Before opening a CD, ask how the early withdrawal penalty is calculated and whether partial withdrawals are allowed.
Fees should also be reviewed. Some savings accounts have monthly maintenance fees, minimum balance requirements, excessive transaction fees, or transfer limitations. Many online banks offer no monthly fee, but you should still read the account agreement. CDs may have fewer monthly fees but can have penalties for early withdrawal.
Safety depends on where the money is held. Bank deposits may be insured by the FDIC, and credit union deposits may be insured by the NCUA, within applicable limits and ownership categories. Always confirm that the institution is insured and understand coverage limits if you keep large balances.
Convenience is another factor. A high-yield online savings account may pay more than a traditional local bank, but transfers to your checking account may take time. Some people keep one month of expenses at their local bank and the rest in a higher-yield account. This balances access and return.
Taxes should not be ignored. Interest from savings accounts and CDs is generally taxable. The institution may issue a tax form, but you are responsible for reporting income according to tax rules. A tax professional can help with your specific situation.
A practical approach is to keep the first layer of emergency cash in checking or a linked savings account, the main emergency fund in high-yield savings, and longer-term cash goals in CDs or treasury-style alternatives if appropriate. The best mix depends on how stable your income is, how many dependents you support, and how quickly you might need the money.
High-yield savings and CDs are not rivals; they are tools. Savings accounts solve access. CDs solve rate certainty for money that can sit. When you match the account to the purpose, your cash can stay safer, more organized, and more productive.
