This comes as the MDC-A has lately been hit by defections
that saw two former legislators Ms Lillian Timveos and Mr Blessing Chebundo
dumping the party to join Zanu PF.
It also comes as the MDC-A officials who have joined Zanu
PF have revealed how Mr Chamisa and his allies were running the party like a
“tuckshop” much to the disgruntlement of senior leaders.
Insiders said as matters came to a head at a Wednesday
standing committee meeting, Mr Chamisa was forced to dump Mr Hwende who has
been operating from Namibia.
“The issue of Hwende was discussed in the context of the
allegations that were made by Timveos and his role in causing disquiet in the
party. Hwende has been outside the country since January yet he is the one who
is supposed to administer the party as the secretary-general.
“It was then agreed that another person should be appointed
to act in his absence, something that could stabilise the party,” said the
insider.
In a letter, the presidential advisor in the MDC-A Mr
Jameson Timba advised that Mr David Chimhini is now the acting
secretary-general.
“Please be advised that the President has with immediate
effect appointed Hon David Chimhini as the secretary-general in terms of the
constitution until the return of our secretary-general Hon Hwende, read the
letter.
Yesterday MDC-A spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere was not picking
up her phone, neither was Mr Timba. Herald
