MDC-T councillors threaten to boycott meeting

A full council meeting almost failed to take off in Kwekwe after seven councillors from the MDC-T threatened to boycott the session accusing their Zanu-PF colleagues of taking them for granted.

Councillor Morris Chinwada (MDC-T) said MDC-T city fathers were at the civic centre for the meeting at 9am, but had to wait for more than an hour for their Zanu-PF counterparts to arrive from a party caucus.

After waiting for an hour, the MDC-T councillors then left chambers and retreated to their party office for a caucus of their own resolving to boycott Monday's full council meeting in a move that threatened the development of the city.
