Controversial MDC MP, David Tekeshe, has left many Zimbabweans scratching their heads wondering what he is up to. In his latest twitter outburst, Tekeshe claimed that MDC President Nelson Chamisa is secretly counsulting traditional healers. David Tekeshe, a former ZANU-PF member turned MDC MP, tweeted: However, Chamisa is known for his hatred of tradional healers and is a Pastor. Last year in December during the memorial service of Vimbai Tsvangirai-Java, Chamisa attacked ED Mnangagwa for having too much trust in Nyangas claiming that his continuous wearing of the scarf even during the hot weather is out of superstition. Chamisa once said the late founder of MDC Morgan Tsvangirai, taught him not to deal with sangomas and in some instances Chamisa is often heard urging party
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people of Zimbabwe in your thousands who thronged Masvingo yesterday to stand with me during the commencement of my treason. You demonstrated the full show of solidarity strength. It was historic. It was never witnessed since time immemorial. Despite threats, intimidation and blackmail you did not move an inch from your resolve to express the rights of our citizens to fight for what is good for this country. Our country has been under slavery for 40 years without recourse. Futures of generations destroyed. Tens of thousands murdered by the regime by these same people who have been forcing themselves upon us. Poverty has become a normal phenomenon in our homes. Joblessness has become our totem. Pennilessness is our daily bread. This s
MDC Alliance president Mr Nelson Chamisa has blamed his party’s dismal performance in the 2018 elections on shambolic preparations and the imposition of candidates. Speaking at the Bulawayo Press Club on Tuesday evening, Mr Chamisa said his party lost the elections by its “own commissions and omissions.” MDC Alliance lost to the ruling Zanu-PF which garnered more than two thirds majority in Parliament while Mr Chamisa was also defeated by President Mnangagwa in the presidential poll. Mr Chamisa said the party has power hungry individuals who cling onto positions resulting in the MDC Alliance fielding double candidates. “We had 32 constituencies where we had double candidates. I can tell you that in those constituencies our combined vote
The Zanu PF government is limiting a maize meal subsidy programme to rural areas, its electoral bedrock, under an opaque new coupon scheme announced on Wednesday. Information minister Monica Mutsvangwa said the maize meal subsidy, first announced last December, had been abused by millers, retailers and street traders – forcing the latest rethink. Under the new scheme, the government says poor and vulnerable communities will be placed on a register and issued with the coupons, allowing them to purchase maize meal from designated shops and centres at $70 for 10kg, while the rest of the population will buy at the market rate. “A targeted coupon scheme for the vulnerable is in the offing with the compilation of a database at an advanced stage. The subsidy programme is not
MDC-T leader Thokozani Khupe storms out of POLAD meeting in tears. Yesterday’s POLAD executive principals meeting was rocked with power struggles, heated arguments and skulduggery as principals of other parties cried foul over MDC-T’s dominance in leadership roles in POLAD sub-committees. Thokozani Khupe, the MDC-T President who is the chairperson of the international re-engagement team, was under attack from most of the principals as they challenged and “harassed” her party members who occupy most of the chairmanship or deputy positions including as rapporteurs in nearly every committee in POLAD. She was also interrogated on why her committee spent three weeks at Crowne Plaza Hotel in Harare, purporting to be engaging with Ambassadors and heads of foreign
FLAMBOYANT businessman and socialite, Genius Kadungure, better known as Ginimbi has filed an appeal at the High Court challenging the magistrate court’s ruling for denying him bail last Friday. The Acting Chief Magistrate Crispen James Mberewere denied the flamboyant businessman bail saying he had the propensity to commit more crimes since he committed the offence while on bail over similar allegations. Kadungure has refused to accept the ruling by filing an appeal at the High Court highlighting that by denying him bail the court has disregarded the presumption of innocence until proven guilty which is engraved in the constitution. “In doing so, the court a quo disregarded the presumption of innocence so jealously guarded by Section 70 (1)(d) of the Constitution. This
Chairperson of the Zimbabwe National War Veterans Association, Ambassador Chris Mutsvangwa says it is high time MDC Alliance leader Advocate Nelson Chamisa to join the political actors dialogue (Polad) if his party is serious about rebuilding the economy. Mutsvangwa says Chamisa wants to get favor and validation from SADAC & the USA instead of dealing with Zanu PF and the laws of Zimbabwe.
Marry Mubaiwa, the estranged wife of Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, has this afternoon been granted $1 500 bail coupled with stringent conditions.

A few weeks ago, Zimbolivenews received a call from an MDC National Council member. He said some senior members of the MDC were concerned that Chamisa was no longer interested in leaving opposition politics. Senior members were concerned that key donors no longer wanted anything to do with the MDC. What Happened to the Money? The senior member said MDC Alliance money was stolen through two methods : 1. Nelson Chamisa receives 60% into the President’s fund for projects. This amount used to be 20%. However , instead of using this 60% to do presidential activities, Chamisa would come back and take from the 40% that is remaining for the whole party to do his activities. The 60% is never accounted for. David Coltart was confronted by some senior leaders of the MDC
