MDC-T has reportedly fired Marondera mayor Farai Nyandoro and seven other supporters for inciting violence against fellow party activists including chairman for Mashonaland East, Piniel Denga.
Local Government, Rural and Urban Development minister Ignatius Chombo said Nyandoro would not be forced to leave office as he did not violate the Urban Councils Act.
Nyandoro was recently arrested for inciting violence that saw Denga and scores of other party activists beaten up.
He was also on suspension from MDC-T for allegedly being too close to Zanu-PF leaders in the province, corruption and abuse of office.
Although MDC-T national organising secretary Nelson Chamisa could not immediately confirm the development, he said action had been taken on the matter and certainly, heads will roll.
Nyandoro and other activists allegedly assaulted fellow party members leaving at least 12 people injured.
A senior official in Mashonaland East confirmed there was a recommendation by the organising department to expel Nyandoro from the party.
