Gorekore, who recently led youths aligned to the two MDC
rival factions led by Khupe and Nelson Chamisa in taking control of the Richard
Morgan Tsvangirai (MRT) House, has been barred from using party offices or
carrying out party business as the provincial youth chair.
The youths, who took over the party headquarters, which had
been occupied by Khupe's MDC-T through a court order, demanded unity among
party leaders, accusing the ruling Zanu-PF party of infiltrating and capturing
the opposition.
In a letter dated September 30, 2020, addressed to
Gorekore, Khupe accused the youth leader of inciting youths to take over MRT
House by force, thereby disrupting normal activities at the party headquarters.
"Please take note that you are hereby suspended with immediate
effect from your position as the Harare provincial youth chair in terms of
section 9.1.2.3 of the party constitution," the letter read in part.
"On Monday September 28, 2020 at around 1000hrs, you
addressed an unauthorised Press conference on matters concerning the party. On
the same Monday, you disobeyed instruction from the national chairperson to
desist from the conduct you were taking. The above-mentioned gave me reasonable
ground to believe there was and is breach of party constitution, rules and
regulations by yourself and others you are leading."
In the suspension letter, Khupe also ordered Gorekore and
the youths to vacate MRT House. Newsday
