Tshabangu has been given legal advice that says the terms
of office of all those elected at the Gweru congress ended in May this year. That
will mean the former Matabeleland North MDC provincial official will be the
sole CCC official who is in office legally because he says he was not part of
the 2019 processes.
“In the circumstances, any office bearer elected on May 25,
2019 who is still in that post is in that post unlawfully and is exercising
power or authority that they do not have in terms of the party’s constitution
under which they were elected, and the decisions that they made or the acts
that they have done since May 25, 2024 are of no legal force of effect,” reads
the legal advice dated August 12.
Tshabangu’s lawyers said Ncube was also announced as acting
party president illegally. “It is a matter of the public record that meetings
said to have been of the ‘national standing committee’ were held on January 24,
2024, January 28 and on January 29, 2024 in the wake of the sudden resignation
of Mr Nelson Chamisa on January 24, 2024, and that subsequently, another
meeting was held on February 17, 2024, in which Professor Welshman Ncube was
said to have been ‘appointed’ as the acting president,” Tshabangu’s lawyers
wrote.
