MDC-T disturbances a passing phase, says Moyo

WITH speculation swirling that the MDC-T was headed for a second split in a decade following violent scenes that rocked the party in which senior figures were assaulted by unruly youths, national chairperson Lovemore Moyo was adamant that the disturbances were just a passing phase.

Moyo said the "unfortunate" incidents of violence would be dealt with by the party's leadership, adding that there were no ideological differences within the party to warrant a split.

He said the MDC-T remained a social democratic party which shared a common goal and a common enemy in Zanu PF.

Moyo said they have had a history of violence at the hands of Zanu-PF since 1999 and would not want to perpetuate that trend.
