A source in the MDC-T has claimed that the party's President Morgan Tsvangirai is under surge from the party's Secretary General Douglas Mwonzora who is said to be one of those plotting a rebellion against the leader.

The insider said the daggers of destruction have been directed towards the veteran opposition leader.

"As usual, the modus operandi of the MDC T's internal woes, emanates from the office of the Secretary General. Tsvangirai is being confronted by a resurgence and an internal rebellion led by Mwonzora," said the insider.

"Save" as he is affectionately known among his supporters, is under siege from all corners, as an all out rebellion from his trusted lieutenants is looming. The recent expulsion of Matson Hlalo was a total disregard of Tsvangirai's authority and influence as it was done without his consent, said one insider."

It has also been revealed that the MDC T leader, issued a directive that the party should expel the divisive online operative, a character operating as Polite Musarurwa or Boaz. To everyone's surprise, Mwonzora neutralized the directive by mentioning Mazodze, SA provincial Spokes, Gore and one by the name Chiroodza.

"As a result, Boaz is operating at will in the name of the party with Mwonzora's blessings and guidance," said the insider.

"The Standing Committee has deliberately developed a rebellious attitude towards their leader. It is has also been revealed that the executive resolved to focus on the Presidential campaign, but Thokozani Khupe and Mwonzora, stubbornly dismissed the resolution. Mwonzora, furthermore, keeps on leaking the Standing Committee's discussions to the detriment of the party's operations."

The insider said Mwonzora stubbornly shocked his peers in the SC when it was discovered that he was already in talks with Zanu PF Mnangagwa's lacoste faction and Tsvangirai's directive came to the rescue of the party.

"Recently, Mwonzora went around mobilizing other parties SGs to hijack NERA and use it as a coalition pact. He went on to establish a US$25 million budget and developed a list of close associates to staff NERA. He then instructed NERA to be separated from ZINAP. Intelligence on the ground has it that Dougie wants to use NERA as the launch pad of his party dumping MDCT," said the insider. "The same Mwonzora, accompanied by TG Theresa Makone have been going around the country telling people that "hatiwane mari nokuti Tsvangirai akasviba and akasvibiswa naBiti". A clear vote of no confidence. For 16 months now, Mwonzora has failed to pay salaries."

The insider said MDC T Secretary General, has a well calculated plan and at the same time has developed some sentiments of fear around Thokozani Khupe's camp and has set up a team to understand her camp through women.

"Abednicho Bhebhe who is in Khupe's camp is being monitored by Fungai Masaiti. Chief Ndlovu who is in Khupe's camp again ,is being monitored by Yvonne Musarurwa. Lwazi, Dougie's girlfriend works closely with Khupe and closely monitors her. Mwonzora is on record, especially when drunk, saying "Khupe thinks I am stupid, arikuita vice wangu manje manje apa paNERA ndapedza napo" . When cornered he starts pointing fingers to Chamisa. Meanwhile ,Theresa Makone is always praising Joyce Mujuru to the surprise of many," said the insider.

"Tsvangirai issued a directive banning all the SC members from whatsapp groups and chatting with lower structures but Mwonzora and Vice President Khupe have defied him as they are seen every minute battling it out with party members on Whatsapp. The said chats yaSG which revealed much of his shenanigans originates from a whatsapp chats."

The insider said Mwonzora and Khupe once went against a Congress resolution not participate in any elections, with Mwonzora allocating himself the Glenview South constituency as the most ideal constituency.

"Khupe giving Pumula constituency to Kalipani Pugeni chi Ben 10 chake. The Nhlalo issue, Dougie and Khupe wants to appoint their blue eyed boy Mapungwana," said the insider.

"Tsvangirai is really under siege and we wait to see if the party followers will once again come to the defence of the MDC T leader."
