NCA key members ditch Madhuku

THE Lovemore Madhuku-led National Constitutional Assembly (NCA), which transformed into a political party four months ago suffered a major knock yesterday after two key members resigned citing irreconcilable policy differences with the party's senior management, the Newsday reported.

Information director Blessing Vava and Takura Zhangazha submitted their resignation letters, accusing the party's top leadership of subverting the interests of its members and operating without clear structures and policies.

Zhangazha, the former executive director of the Voluntary Media Council of Zimbabwe was still an ordinary member of the party.

Vava said the decision by the party's top leadership to participate in the just-ended council by-elections before adoption of a clear strategy was the last straw that broke their ties with the party.

Zhangazha, who at the time was still an ordinary party member, also said his departure had to do with issues about participation in the by-elections.

The two said they were now going to concentrate on working with the Committee of the People's Charter which is a movement formed to articulate issues of national economic, political and social welfare, looking at issues like constitutional reform, gender reform, and the political environment.
