Former Tsholotsho North MP Roselyn Nkomo of the United Movement for Democratic Change has vowed to inflict another embarrassing defeat on Information Minister Jonathan Moyo in by-elections expected soon.

 Moyo lost the July 2013 parliamentary polls to  Nkomo  but rejected the outcome citing alleged irregularities.

 Nkomo, under MDC-T ticket  got 4 800 votes against Moyo's 4 646.

 Moyo went to court seeking nullification of his defeat without any joy.

Now Nkomo is quoted in the Chronicle saying Moyo stands no chance against her in any election.

" I know Zanu-PF will run there with their dogs and everything including its old people because (ZANU PF national commissar, Cde Saviour) Kasukuwere said  Jonathan should bring back the Tsholotsho seat.

" If my party says I should contest for the seat in the by-elections, l'll do so. I know I will win again against Jonathan," she vowed.

Moyo is said to be currently campaigning using Tsholotho FC by promising villagers that a football stadium will be built this year.

Once built, that will result in Dynamos, Caps United and other Premier Soccer League teams playing Tsholotsho.
