MDC-T National Spokesperson Douglas Mwonzora has shut off party Facebook enthusiast Boaz Mangamiso who has been making controversial Facebook posting about the party and some party members and signing off as MDC-T National Spokesperson.

Mangamiso has for a couple of months now been making several damning posts on Facebook about the MDC-T particularly in support of party President Morgan Tsvangirai and signing them off as "MDC-T National Spokesperson Ngenkani (like it or not)" a depiction that he is unconditionally and forcefully declaring himself the party spokesperson. In other posts he refers to himself as Sipokisimeni waTsvangirai a vernecular  version of Tsvangirai Spokesman and has actually gone ahead and opened a Facebook page with the same name.

Mangamiso who has declared himself to be against the calls for leadership renewal in the MDC-T and is blasting anyone who comes in the call for the removal of Tsvangirai has surprisingly declared his intention to wrestle the National Spokesperson position from Mwonzora a leadership renewal call on its own.
Mangamiso over the weekend took the social network by storm publishing a letter with poorly constructed English sentences and grammar claiming to be a letter of plea for forgiveness to party President Tsvangirai via him as spokesperson from troubled party Deputy Treasurer Elton Mangoma. Mangoma recently wrote a letter to party president Tsvangirai to step down as president of the party.

In visible fury official National Spokesperson Douglas Mwonzora sent in a Facebook post in one of Mangamiso's controversial postings querying who Mangamiso was and expressing his total ignorance of the character in the MDC structures.

"Who is this person called Boas
Mangamiso who purports to act as the MDC Spokesman? I have no knowledge of him." Wrote Mwonzora.

Prior to Mwonzora's comment party Deputy National Spokesperson Joel Gabbuza had also put up a lamenting comment "Yah ngenkani sibili" (Yah spokesperson by force) depicting that indeed Mangamiso was forcibly declaring himself as party spokesperson.

Mangamiso has been a leading voice in the social network for Morgan Tsvangirai and fighting against anyone calling for Tsvangirai's removal leading to a huge fall out between him and South Africa's Diepsloot Branch Chairman Innocent Jeke which many people have declared scary. The two have traded very dirty and unprintable insults between each other over the removal of Tsvangirai to an extent that some of their followers on Facebook have agreed to make sure that the two never meet in person in fear of a fatal fight ensuing between the two. Jeke has openly castigated Mangamiso for declaring himself party national spokesperson and vowing to make sure he never lands the position at the next congress scheduled for 2016
