President Mugabe and PM Morgan Tsvangirai have put in motion plans to purge party members deemed to have undermined their leadership as exposed by WikiLeaks cables despite earlier attempts by the 2 arch-rivals to let sleeping dogs lie.
Fingaz claims a silent war is being waged in MDC-T against those that criticised Tsvangirai as being weak and indecisive. The earliest casuality being former legislator and the party's trearurer general Roy Bennett who expressed shock this week that he had been replaced by Seiso Moyo as the party's deputy agriculture minister-designate.
Daily News says an MDC-T national executive council meeting degenerated into chaos yesterday after the party's supreme body attempted to discuss the thorny issue of WikiLeaks.
So heated was the meeting that at one time PM Morgan Tsvangirai had to order party organising secretary Nelson Chamisa and former Harare chairman Morgan Femai out of the meeting for a few minutes to cool off after a heated argument over the suspension of Obert Gutu from Harare province.
Gutu's suspension was yesterday declared null and void but Femai wanted him disciplined along with other senior MDC-T officials like Chamisa and secretary general Tendai Biti over WikiLeaks. NewsDay says the WikiLeaks debate degenerated into near fisticuffs between Chamisa and Femai.
