releases names of dismissed councillors
The Movement for Democratic Change led by Morgan Tsvangirai's National Executive has released names of the 12 councillors who were expelled from the party for corruption.
Last Friday, the MDC-T NEC received a report from national deputy secretary general, Dr. Tapiwa Mashakada who chaired the commission that audited the state of the 10 MDC-led councils' operations. After deliberating on the audit, the leadership unanimously resolved to dismiss the councillors after they were found guilty of corruption.
The commission was set up in March this year.
The action taken by the MDC leadership will be intensified across the country to reclaim Zimbabwe's self-respect; a climate of accountability; and push for zero tolerance on corruption and all evils.
The MDC-T said it assures the people of Zimbabwe that the crusade against corruption is in full swing and unstoppable until we clean up all sections of our society of the corruption scourge that was introduced into Zimbabwe by the Zanu-PF dictatorship in 1980.
The dismissed councillors from Harare are; Emmanuel Chiroto, the Deputy Mayor of Ward 42, Peter Marange of Ward 49, Phumulani Musagwiza of Ward 22 and Xavier Vengesai of Ward 28.
In Gweru there is Tedius Chimombe of Ward 9, Clemence Kwaru of Ward 17 and Holly Dzuda of Ward 2.
Bindura has Ivory Matanhire of Ward 4, Vengai Mudadi of Ward 8, Rickson Kaseke of Ward 11.
In Zvishavane there Alois Zhou and Kwekwe has Johannes Ngozo of Ward 11.
"What has happened in Harare, Gweru, Bindura, Kwekwe and Zvishavane is part of the MDC-T's broad anti-corruption campaign within and outside the party," said a statement from MDC-T.
