A serious rift has emerged in the MDC-T in Masvingo, where party heavyweights are reportedly at loggerheads over allocation of parliamentary constituencies ahead of next year's harmonised elections.
It is believed that several party gurus in the province were jockeying to control urban seats across the province that were considered "safe" amid reports of widespread fear of defeat at the hands of Zanu-PF.
Sources in the opposition party said the divisions among MDC-T heavyweights in Masvingo had virtually paralysed party activities and programmes, including mobilising supporters for the ongoing Biometric Voter Registration exercise.
Among those said to be eyeing the safe seats in the MDC-T in Masvingo is national executive member Takanai Mureyi, who is angling for the Masvingo Urban seat.
