OPPOSITION MDC-T leader Nelson Chamisa yesterday gave his
three deputies — Elias Mudzuri, Morgen Komichi and Welshman Ncube — specific
roles to play as he moves to strengthen the party following its electoral defeat
in the July 30 polls.
Chamisa’s spokesperson, Nkululeko Sibanda, told NewsDay
that Mudzuri, Komichi and Ncube were tasked to lead local government; policy
and international relations and administration and finance, respectively.
Chamisa recently elevated Komichi from being chairperson to
VP while also integrating Ncube into the mainstream MDC-T.
“VP Mudzuri is in charge of local government, Komichi in
charge of party policy and international relations and Ncube is in charge of
administration and finance,” Sibanda said.
“VP Ncube will be in charge of all departments that help
the institution in terms of administration. He has vast experience on this one
and at one point he was the secretary-general of the party. VP Mudzuri has a
lot of experience in his portfolio and he is an engineer.”
Sibanda expressed confidence that the appointments would
yield the desired results and exhibit more organisational strength.
“Those appointed in different portfolios in Zanu PF are
ancient brains and are fossils in terms of thinking. You can appoint as many of
them as possible, but we cannot be bothered by fossils. Those that we have
appointed are modern, futuristic and academics.
“One of them is a professor and they are appointed into
different portfolios that go with their experiences. All what Zanu PF has is
experience in failure and they cannot match our team. Their brains are ancient.
When we are looking at them, we are looking at fossils.”
Sibanda was referring to Zanu PF’s recent redeployments of
former Cabinet ministers, among them Obert Mpofu, Simon Khaya Moyo and Patrick
Chinamasa to take up full-time jobs at the Zanu PF headquarters. Newsday
