Mnangagwa was key beneficiary, not architect of the (2017) coup because the commanders, who now regret it, needed a political face to front the coup..." - Jonathan Moyo. SELF-EXILED former cabinet minister Jonathan Moyo says he did not at one time find the now President Emmerson Mnangagwa and then First Lady Grace Mugabe close to being presidential material. Responding to questions by Zimbabweans on social media Thursday, Moyo also said security commanders who executed the coup against the now late former President Robert Mugabe regretted their action. Mugabe was ousted November 2017 in a military coup that ushered in his former top aide turned bitter enemy, Mnangagwa. Moyo, once a close ally to Mnangagwa, said during the time he worked with the then Vice President, the latte
MDC president Nelson Chamisa visited the abducted MDC youth leaders at a hospital in waterfalls and has condemned Mnangagwa & Zanu PF for the inhuman treatement the youth leaders were subjected to. In a graphic speech Chamisa describes how the women were tortured and beated up. He also stated that the women were sexually abused while in custody. Chamisa also stated that its something Zanu PF has done over the years to abduct and torture members of the oppisition party watch the video below.
EMBATTLED MDC Alliance president Nelson Chamisa has accused President Emmerson Mnangagwa of using the Covid-19 lockdown as an opportunity to harass the opposition outfit while neglecting the core business of protecting citizens against the deadly virus. A day after Zimbabwe began a national lockdown on 30th March, the Supreme Court delivered a judgment which reduced Chamisa to a junior member of the opposition party following his rushed ascendancy to the party’s top position. Chamisa now says that the only remarkable step taken by Mnangagwa’s government during the lockdown was the delivery of the unpopular judgment. “The most significant government achievement made during this Covid-19 lockdown is the bizarre handing down of a Supreme Court judgment and the abusive
'They target and eliminate whom they fear most, they promote whom they fear least' MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa on Monday claimed the party’s organising secretary Amos Chibaya had been targeted for “elimination” a day after he was involved in a car accident near Zvishavane. Chamisa backed up claims by his party, first made on Sunday, that the crash had been deliberately caused by the driver of the other vehicle, identified as “Central Intelligence Organisation operative Norman Kujoka.” The MDC said the Mkoba MP was driving his parliamentary Ford Ranger to Zvishavane on private business “when Kujoka, whose car was stationary on the same road, made a sudden U-turn in front of Honourable Chibaya and caused the crash.” Chibaya&rsqu
Another blow for Chamisa’s MDC. Festus Dumbu said emphatically – while also presenting the evidence – that he had contested the polls representing the MDC. In a further blow to Chamisa, the losing MDC Alliance parliamentary candidate for Zaka West in the 2018 polls has rejected claims that the alliance fielded people in that year’ s general elections – adding that all candidates were seconded to contest by their respective parties. “The MDC Alliance did not field even a single candidate in the 2018 harmonised elections. I contested in Zaka West clearly representing the MDC, under the MDC Alliance electoral pact. “Even our Declaration of Loyalty Forms were MDC forms, not Alliance forms. PDP (People’ s Democratic Party) had its own sys
MDC speaks on claims that Chamisa faces arrest. Mutodi had posted on Twitter reiterating the claims which were previously made on social media which suggested that Chamisa had directed into personal use the $2 million dollars which MDC was allocated under the Parties Act. The Opposition Movement for Democratic Party (MDC) has dismissed allegations by the Deputy Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Energy Mutodi, that Nelson Chamisa faces arrest for misusing party coffers. Mutodi said: Commotion in MDC-Alliance as over 40 MDCT legislators disagree with the decision to withdraw from Parliament. Chamisa also faces arrest for misappropriating party funds. In response, the MDC said: Stop telling malicious, defamatory lies. President @nelsonchamisa
Opposition leader Nelson Chamisa has, in some rather subtle way, complied with the Supreme Court ruling which declared him illegitimate leader of the MDC, after he edited his Twitter bio to remove the descriptive term ‘MDC President’. Chamisa replaced the MDC presidency title with the text: “What must be, shall be… The future is set.” The Supreme Court on 30th March ruled that Chamisa’s appointment to the MDC Vice Presidency in 2017 by the late party founding President Morgan Tsvangirai was ultra vires the MDC constitution, and that his subsequent rise to the top post was annulled. As a result, the Court ordered the party to hold an extraordinary congress with the sole purpose of electing a President, using the 2014 party structures.&
MDC-T president Thokozani Khupe and her political rival Nelson Chamisa, whose two-year court battle ended with Chamisa on the losing side, have each begun digging deep into the Bible for verses that seem to attack the opponent. Chamisa recently lost the legitimacy court case at the Supreme Court, which ruled that Khupe is reinstated the interim party leader for the next 90 days ahead of an extraordinary congress. It was Chamisa who escalated the fight to a spiritual level after he took a quote from the Bible, which some of his followers interpreted to mean he was comparing himself to Jesus who was betrayed by his close lieutenant, Judas. Thursday evening, Chamisa wrote on Twitter: “Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and asked, &l
YOUTHS in the opposition MDC aligned to Nelson Chamisa have threatened to prematurely come out of the 21-day national lockdown and unleash bloodbath if the rival camp led by Thokozani Khupe moves into the party headquarters in Harare. The two camps have been tussling for control of the main party building in central Harare since the Supreme Court ruling last week which reinstated Khupe as the party leader and reduced Chamisa to the portfolio of secretary for policy and research. However, the two camps have been playing mind games on each other over control of the party headquarters, with reistated MDC Secretary-General Douglas Mwonzora telling State-owned media that he had locked up the offices. MDC Alliance national youth secretary-general, Stephen Chuma (pictured), yesterd
TOP officials in the MDC camp led by Nelson Chamisa have dismissed reports that the camp led by Thokozani Khupe, Morgen Komichi and Douglas Mwonzora has seized control of the headquarters in Harare CBD. MDC chairperson in the Chamisa camp, Thabitha Khumalo, told Voice of America that it is “cheap propaganda” to say Mwonzora had taken over the headquarters. Khumalo also dismissed reports in the state-controlled Herald newspaper that Mwonzora and his friends had locked up the building and are now in control of the Morgan Richard Tsvangirai House. “… That is nonsense, there is nothing like that. The Morgan Richard Tsvangirai House still belongs to president Nelson Chamisa and the MDC Alliance. “It’s business as usual. The enemy is being defeate
