THE MDC N has fired party leaders who attended a meeting chaired by MDC-T leader Douglas Mwonzora at the Morgan Tsvangirai House early this month.
A letter seen by NewsDay dated August 20 and signed by the
Welshman Ncube-led party national disciplinary committee chairman, Faroah Jele,
stated that the decision was arrived at on Friday after the accused persons
failed to turn up for a hearing.
The fired party leaders include Shupikai Mandaza (interim
chairman), Christopher Monera (secretary for policy and research), Munhangu
Musevenzo (secretary for training and political education) and Gift Kurupati
(national council member).
The quartet last week purported to have expelled Ncube, his
deputy Edwin Mushoriwa and four other leaders for aligning themselves with the
Nelson Chamisa-led MDC Alliance.
“This is to advise you that the national disciplinary
committee met as scheduled on August 20, 2021, in your absence to consider the
charges levelled against you as set out in my letter to you summoning you to
appear before the disciplinary committee and found you guilty of all the
charges and further resolved to expel you from the party with immediate
effect,” the letter read in part.
“Accordingly, please be informed that your membership of
the party has been terminated with effect from midday August 20, 2021. You are
advised to hand over whatever property or material including party regalia that
may be in your possession to the office of the secretary-general of the party.”
Last week, Mandaza wrote to Jele telling him that he was no
longer a member of the party, and alleging that the integration of the MDC, MDC
Alliance and other parties was not agreed to in a constitutional manner.
