Bhebhe takes Tsvangirai to Nkayi as he starts campaign

ABEDNICO Bhebhe who was fired from the Movement for Democratic Change formation now led by Professor Welshman Ncube for indiscipline, will on Sunday have a campaign rally in Nkayi South constituency which will be addressed by Prime Minister Mr Morgan Tsvangirai, we exclusively reveal.

Bhebhe now belongs to the other MDC formation led by Prime Minister Mr Morgan Richard Tsvangirai and has been made the Deputy Secretary for Organizing at national level.

According to a highly placed source in the Bulawayo Province, another rally is scheduled for Nkayi North where Sengezo Tshabangu wants to stand in the next elections.

"Bhebhe and Sengezo will start their campaign on Saturday. Sengezo's rally is on Saturday whereas Bhebhe's rally is on Sunday," said the source.

The source added that the "star rallies" have deliberately not been advertised, for security reasons.

This will be the first rally for Mr Tsvangirai in Nkayi and there are high expectations on what he is going to say there, said the source.

MDC Spokesperson, Doglous Mwonzora could neither confirm nor deny the holding of the rallies on Saturday and Sunday in Nkayi.

"We have a schedule of rallies. We can be anywhere in Zimbabwe this weekend," he said.

This comes after a Bulawayo High Court Judge; Justice Nicholas Ndou granted an order and implored President Robert Mugabe to announce election dates for the three constituencies within 14 days.

In 2009, Speaker of Parliament Lovemore Moyo declared the three seats – Bulilima East, Lupane East and Nkayi South vacant after Njabulo Mguni, Norman Mpofu and Abednico Bhebhe were recalled by the MDC.

The trio immediately contested their expulsion through the High Court, demanding by-elections to be held without delay.
