Sipepa mocks Tsvangirai

Interim chairperson of the Tendai Biti faction of MDC-T, Dr Samuel Sipepa Nkomo, said party leader Morgan Tsvangirai was the king of wishful thinking, if he thought the national executive council's decision to expel him and nine other legislators was legally binding.
Yesterday the national executive council met and decided to sack the Tendai Biti led leadership renewal group.
Ironically, Biti and his crew also fired Tsvangirai and members of his faction on Saturday.
Dr Sipepa Nkomo taunted Tsvangirai saying he would never rule Zimbabwe.
"I'm convinced there is no way Tsvangirai can win an election in Zimbabwe. I don't believe God has given him that, otherwise he would have won in the one of the numerous attempts that he has had."
He said yesterday's national executive council decision was illegal as the party had based it on allegations that Biti and his followers had contravened the party's constitution by forming another party. 
"We have not formed another party as we are still MDC. We are not leaving the party despite the decision and no one can make us because the party does not belong to an individual," said Dr Sipepa Nkomo.
He said; "Tsvangirai and his group can only fire their people and we are not their people. We have come to a stage whereby what the other camp does is inconsequential to us and what we do does not affect them. There can now be no reaching out to each other."
He said his group would continue working peacefully for positive change and come the 2016 congress, was ready to boot Tsvangirai out.
Dr Sipepa Nkomo said Tsvangirai and his supporters were known for violence adding members of his renewal team would not retaliate if attacked.
The party has been sharply divided over calls for leadership renewal.
A faction led by secretary general Tendai Biti and deputy treasurer-general Elton Mangoma has been pushing for party leader Morgan Tsvangirai to step down, while another faction has firmly thrown weight behind Tsvangirai.
The two factions have been involved in a circus of suspensions with the rival factions suspending opponents and each group claiming to be in control.
The see-saw battle culminated in Dr Nkomo saying yesterday that there was no hope for either faction reaching out to the other for reconciliation.
He said MDC-T was fraught with chaos whereby everyone was suspending everyone else.
