Some MDC-T officials have started dirty campaigns ahead of the opposition party's October 31 congress with the party women's assembly boss Theresa Makone being the latest to be attacked for allegedly failing to account for money raised through various platforms.
Knives were reportedly out for the women's assembly boss, who was on Monday under fire from youths after she allegedly attempted to address them in the dark after prepaid electricity at Harvest House headquarters ran out.
Insiders accused Makone of failing to account for money raised through the Ecocash platform.
They alleged that she was using part of the funds to sponsor her campaigns. But Makone said she was being targeted because of her popularity.
On Monday, MDC-T insiders said Makone was snubbed by party youths when she tried to address them in the dark following the expiry of their prepaid electricity.
