MDC-T in plot to force early poll
24 Mar 2015 at 07:06hrs | Views
MDC-T has roped in so-called progressive members of Zanu-PF in a shadowy committee organising meetings masked as National Convergence Conventions that will start in May planning protests meant to destabilise Zimbabwe.
Self-exiled musician Thomas Mapfumo is part of the committee that will host three meetings to plan the protests with the aim of forcing an early election before 2018.
A letter indicates that apart from what are described as "progressive" members of Zanu-PF, others invited to the meetings include members of political parties, civic society and churches.
MDC-T is on record courting Zanu-PF members who are accused of working with former Vice President Joice Mujuru's putschist cabal that was angling to remove President Mugabe unconstitutionally.
Former MDC-T organising secretary Nelson Chamisa, who is now an ordinary card-carrying member after losing his post at the party's congress last year, recently told a rally in Kuwadzana that the party had approached former Zanu-PF secretary for Administration Didymus Mutasa to join them.
Mutasa and his nephew Temba Mliswa were recently expelled from Zanu-PF together with former Zanu-PF secretary for Information and Publicity Rugare Gumbo for spearheading the Mujuru cabal's ambitions.
