Compared to Emmerson Mnangagwa, Former President Robert Mugabe was at kindergarten level in terms of dictatorship, MDC Alliance leader, Advocate Nelson Chamisa has said. According to Advocate Chamisa, Mnangagwa has taken dictatorship to a shocking level. Speaking to reporters in Harare on Wednesday, Advocate Chamisa said: "It's a banana republic as you can see by the conduct of Mr Mnangagwa. We never thought that Mnangagwa will be worse than Mugabe but instead he has proved Mugabe to be a toddler in dictatorship. Mugabe was actually the banana in pyjamas, at cartoon level. He has actually taken dictatorship to another level. We will have have to make sure that Mnangagwa is shown the way that is shown to all dictators. They have to exit the people's spaces and
THE late MDC founding father Morgan Tsvangirai’s son, Vincent, defied Nelson Chamisa’s directive after he attended the National Assembly sitting yesterday. This comes after the Chamisa faction directed their legislators not to attend Parliament sittings amid a bitter battle for the control of MPs between reinstated MDC-T acting president Thokozani Khupe, who has since recalled four legislators aligned to her rival, Chamisa. During yesterday’s National Assembly sitting, Tsvangirai was joined by other four MDC legislators Constance Chihururu, Joyce Makonya (proportional representatives), Winnie Kankuni (Sunningdale) and David Tekeshe (Makoni Central). Makonya told the Daily News yesterday that Tsvangirai was defending what is right. “We are encouraged by the
As Emmerson Mnangagwa cries for the removal of sanctions, his government continues to violate human rights. Heavily armed police officers raided MDC Alliance officers in Mutare claiming an illegal meeting was taking place. Read the MDC Alliance Manicaland Province full statement below: The MDC Manicaland Province is totally dismayed by the way our police force operates. It’s partisan approach leaves a lot to be desired. On Monday 25 May 2020 the police from Mutare Central led by the DISPOL superintendent Florence Marume visited our party offices in Darlington Suburb heavily armed with AK rifles and dogs on false information that we were holding a meeting. However, what annoys us most is the fact that the very same DISPOL Florence Marume assigned officers from PISI departme
Minister of Foreign Affairs General Sibusiso Moyo says the abduction of three MDC A activists was a stage managed theatrical display, designed to soil the image of the Government. In a statement issued on Monday, Moyo said, government is gravely concerned about the serious allegations made by three (3) female MDC leaders, to the effect that they were subjected to abduction, torture, forced disappearance and s*xual abuse at the hands of suspected State Security agents. Moyo said the dramatic incident was meant to disturb the convening of the SADC Troika Summit and the presence, in Harare, of several Regional Heads of State, and the impending SADC Council of Ministers virtual meeting. He said it is most disconcerting to note that the media and the diplomatic community appear to have
Controversial cleric and fierce Government critic, Apostle Talent Farai Chiwenga, has likened Zimbabwean people to ‘zombies’ and ‘insane human beings’ for failing to rise up and challenge President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s ruling Zanu PF grip on power. In a hard-hitting latest video footage, Apostle Chiwenga said Zimbabweans must desist from watching while security forces that are traditionally deployed by the state in times of street protests, indiscriminately beat up people. He said ‘the ordinary Zimbabwean population is more than the police, the army and those who work for the intelligence, combined’ adding that no amount of gun power can silence the voiçes of all Zimbabweans. “Because I can assure you: no Zimbabwean should be va

Former Herald Editor Tichaona Zindonga claims that Presidential Spokesperson George Charamba and ousted Deputy Government Spokesperson Energy Mutodi plotted to remove President Emmerson Mnangagwa working on behalf of the military. Zindoga made the remarks in a Twitter thread commenting on the firing of Mutodi by Mnangagwa on Wednesday. Zindoga claimed that Charamba and Mutodi wanted to replace the president with an unnamed individual. No, I’m not rejoicing. This time last year the ex junior Minister Mutodi forced me to write a report on why I had been pictured, on different ocassions, with opposition leader @nelsonchamisa and youth leader Bvondo. His superiors in the ministry laughed the order off because he had no real authority to do so. However, I did it for
DC-T national chair, Morgen Komichi has issued an apology to party structures for being one of the key architects of Nelson Chamisa's alleged power grab performed on the news of founding leader Morgan Tsvangirai's shock death 14 February 2018. Komichi said he must be forgiven for violating the party's constitution. Aided by party organs, Chamisa took control of MDC February 2018 in an acting capacity, igniting fierce protests from co-vice presidents Thokozani Khupe, Elias Mudzuri and party secretary general Douglas Mwonzora. He later convened a party congress in May last year in which he was elected substantive leader.

DYNAMOS legend and former club captain Memory Mucherahowa has withdrawn his membership of the Zanu-PF UK branch and thrown his endorsement behind opposition MDC Alliance president Nelson Chamisa. “Memory Mucherahowa supports MDCA and with Advocate Nelson Chamisa as our President, Thank you,” Mucherahowa, who led the high-riding Dynamos team to the CAF Champions League final in 1998 against Asec Mimosas, tweeted on Monday.
