Mliswa removed from Parliament after clashing with MDC-T MPs

Norton MP, Temba Mliswa (independent), was yesterday ejected from the National Assembly after he clashed with MDC-T legislators after he accused them of being “lazy” and “unelectable”.

Mliswa disrupted a question by MDC-T legislators, who were probing Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa on the biometric voter registration exercise. Said Mliswa:

You always claim rigging; you don’t know how to work on the ground. Stop claiming rigging and go on the ground and campaign. They say if you can’t beat them, join them. You are good at crying, complaining of rigging. Go on the ground and work. People support those who work.

Mliswa received support from Hurungwe East MP, Sarah Mahoka (Zanu PF), who continuously shouted: “Tell them!” But the opposition MPs such as Bulawayo East legislator, Thabitha Khumalo, who during the recent Norton by-election supported him, accused Mliswa of being a “sell-out” and working with a faction in Zanu PF linked to Mnangagwa. Acting Speaker, Reuben Marumahoko, had to send the sergeant-at-arms to eject Mliswa after he continued with his attack. Mliswa attempted to sneak back into the House after 10 minutes, but Marumahoko ordered him to stay out for the rest of the session.
