MDC leader, Morgan Tsvangirai has suspended five people,
including two members of the standing committee, following his promise to
decisively deal with the disturbances in Bulawayo over the weekend in which
Vice President Thokozani Khupe and other senior party officials were injured.
Tsvangirai suspended the party’s Deputy
Treasurer-General Mr. Charlton Hwende and Deputy Secretary for Information and
Publicity, Hon. Thabitha Khumalo, pending full investigations, for suspected
crimes of omission and commission before and during the disturbances. He has
also suspended three members of the Youth Assembly over the same matter.
Tsvangirai has already dispatched a probe team to
Bulawayo and a full comprehensive investigation will determine any further
action to be taken.
Violence is not part of the culture of the party and
President Tsvangirai, a victim of violence himself countless times since the
party was formed, has moved in to take decisive action over the matter.
