Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) youths attempted to block former MDC-T deputy president Thokozani Khupe from attending a CCC Bulawayo provincial assembly meeting on Saturday.
The CCC youths barred Khupe from attending the meeting which was addressed by the opposition party’s leader, Nelson Chamisa, at McDonald Hall in Bulawayo, accusing her of being a sellout. One of the youths said:
Khupe, you are not welcome here. All along you were dining and wining with (President Emmerson) Mnangagwa, busy plotting the destruction our party.
You even recalled from parliament some of our leaders whom you want to meet today. Are you not ashamed of what you did?
Chamisa rebuked the youths for their intolerance, saying he did not invite Khupe to the meeting but as a citizen, she had a right to attend the meeting. Said Chamisa:
I am not a leader of a violent people; I am not a leader of a violent community and I will never accept violence.
This is why I left MDC to form a peaceful organisation with God-fearing supporters.
I do not want this coalition to resemble a Mnangagwa organisation or even that of Mugabe.
I am not happy with those youths who are blocking Khupe. I did not invite her, but she has the right, as a citizen, to be in this meeting.
Khupe later tweeted that she had attended her “first meeting as a CCC member addressed by President Chamisa in Bulawayo Macdonald Hall”.
Last month Khupe endorsed Chamisa and CCC candidates ahead of the 26 March by- elections.
CCC leadership is divided on whether to accept Khupe as a member due to her former close association with President Emmerson Mnangagwa when she was a member of the Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD).

Babamunini chimbofambai with the persecuted, you leave this khupe smuggling thing, you will pay big time, build structures, this tells a simple story, you are not as popuĺar as you claim and you can not organize because as a voter you are telling me * i do not have legs without khupe*, i ask what about those who suffered under khupe^s double edged sword, mairasa babamunini, at least you have the excuse of accusing zanu for your failures
Chamisa is a very strange person.
Imagine all the pain this particular person caused to millions of Zimbabweans , especially to Tsvangirai when he was on his deathbed, imagine all the reasons she gave when she was fighting for party Presidency, she was the corner upon which POLAD was built.
Imagine the recalls .
This one is the real enemy of Democracy.
Imagine how you had to abandon MDC , running away from Khupe.
Now you want her to join the people’s project, zvimwe zvinhu zvinopedza power.
Maybe the three of you, Mwonzora, Khupe and Chamisa are indeed acting with common purpose.
