6 Gwanda MDC Alliance Councillors Defect To Khupe

6 MDC Alliance councillors have reportedly dumped the MDC led by Nelson Chamisa to join the MDC T led by Thokozani Khupe, Newsday reports.

The defections were reportedly confirmed by the MDC T who told the Southern Eye that:

The MDC-T acting national spokesperson Khaliphani Phugeni met with Gwanda Municipality councillors in his capacity as the standing committee deployee to Matabeleland South province.

The meeting was also attended by the Matabeleland South proportional representation legislator Lindiwe Maphosa and provincial leaders. The councillors were led by mayor, Cllr Jastone Mazhale and his deputy Cllr Ponalo Maphala.

Gwanda Municipality has six MDC councillors and all of them attended the meeting. The deliberations were mainly centred on activating the party’s 2014 structures, preparations for the extra-ordinary congress; party building and cohesion and preparations for 2023.

Commenting on the issue, Sesil Zvidzai, the MDC Alliance secretary for local government and rural development said the councillors were elected using the MDC Alliance card and by defecting to Khupe they had betrayed the electorate:

We need a new Zimbabwe where people are free to speak, respect the rule of law and people’s free choices. The MDC Alliance councillors were elected by MDC Alliance members and supporters. The people of Gwanda are behind the MDC Alliance, and will continue to speak against the absurdities of rulings made by captured courts.

How on earth can MDC-T inherit councillors from the MDC Alliance?The future will judge the courts, captured institutions and the captors very harshly. The March to a new Zimbabwe, a Zimbabwe of opportunity and freedom is in the near horizon.

According to sources that spoke to the publication, the defects reportedly promised to work hard to mobilise the electorate for 2023. Yesterday 3 MDC Alliance councillors from Kwekwe also defected to Khupe.
