MDC-T SA leadership resigns en masse but remains loyal to Tsvangirai

Turmoil reigns in the South Africa of Zimbabwe's largest political party - the MDC-T with the only hope being that the disgruntled members still profess loyalty to Dr. Morgan Tsvangirai and the MDC-T body politic.
All MDC-T political districts have severed ties and disengaged from the now defunct, abstract and now paper existent provincial executive.
Announcing his right to disassociate this morning in a statement was celebrated United Nations awarding human rights lawyer and philanthropist Adv. Gabriel Shumba a fiery Mugabe critic.
"I hope you guys will not excuse this nonsensical betrayal of the women's cause. I resign from that thuggish entity out of principle," lamented the decorated defender of human rights and an executive director of the Zimbabwe Exiles Forum a global confluence of Zimbabweans worldwide.
In a number of social media WhatsApp chats, shown to this reporter, Mr. Chief Ndlovu is seen questioning the very "correctness' of and the "quality" of the sperms that conceived most of the MDC-T leaders in South Africa. An unprovoked attack on the hardworking and sterner than steel Youth Assembly National Health Secretary, Ms Vimbai Mavherudze seems to have the broken the elasticity limit of many leaders who were still holding onto the sinking titanic.
Mr. Chief Ndlovu used unprintable words and the superlative of adjectives to describe the interior of a lady who denies the depicter of having any knowledge of her undressedness.
Speaking to this reporter on condition of anonymity, one district chairperson confirmed that all districts will soon converge and map the way forward.
"We will never abandon the democratic cause. We remain firmly behind President Tsvangirai and we will take him to state house. We have agreed as the grassroots to disassociate ourselves from Chief Ndlovu and his cabal. We are going to elect an interim administration and move on with recruitment, mobilization and advocacy as is our mandate as an external assembly of the MDC-T. Our divorce with the former Chairman, Mr. Ndlovu stems out of his Zanu PF modus operandi. Since he was elected to office, he has appointed more people than those who were congress elected which is just like Mugabe appointing an entire politburo. Mr. Ndlovu appointed his friends into the Management Committee of the province, friends, concubines and girlfriends into the provincial executive whilst some were seconded to be national executive members without a council resolution."
Reliable sources have it that the much abhorred former chairman Mr. Ndlovu is criss-crossing South Africa destroying party structures replacing with his stooges. A case in point is the now famed LIMPOPO debacle. It is reliably confirmed that provincial organizing committee chairperson, Mr. Trust Ndlovu (not related) spend the entire previous weekend on a recruitment drive visiting several towns and farms in Limpopo establishing party structures. As if sent by Zanu PF, Mr. Ndlovu followed the trails and confused all the new recruits thereby aborting the very efforts of the industrious organizer.
Whereas firebrand Youth leader remains suspended indefinitely for "abusing" WhatsApp, celebrated abusers of the same platform including Mr. Mwonzora ( for denigrating other leaders) and the former South Africa chairman Ndlovu reign unabated. Another casualty of the so called punitive and indefinite suspensions is Dr. Wangu Mazodze the provincial spokesperson who is being silenced for standing up against the unethical manner in which the party business is being transacted and administered in South Africa by Mr. Chief Ndlovu and his hangers.
The scourage of women's abuse goes against and negate the very values of August the very Women's Month in South Africa. All leaders interviewed have affirmed their confidence in the national leadership led by Dr. Tsvangirai and have called for the same to expeditiously resolve the crisis in South Africa however clearly stating that they will not submit to a process where the wayward former chairperson in involved.
