MDC youth leader resigns

MDC Bulawayo provincial secretary for media, information and publicity Khumbulani Malinga has resigned charging that the party is opposed to democratic principles that it purports to represent.

Malinga's resignation follows that of several senior MDC members who quit the Welshman Ncube-led party citing different reasons.

In his resignation letter Malinga cited the unresolved issue of the inclusion of the party's secretary-general Priscilla Musihairabwi-Mushonga under the women's quota in Matabeleland South as one of the shortcomings that precipitated his resignation.

MDC national youth secretary-general Discent Collins Bajila confirmed Malinga's resignation in a Facebook post.
