The main opposition MDC-T says the circus happening at Harare's Town House - which saw mayor Bernard Manyenyeni suspended by government hardly 24 hours after lifting an earlier debarment over reportedly frivolous accusations - was part of a wider Zanu-PF plot to take over control of the capital city and parcel out land to ruling party members ahead of the 2018 elections.
The MDC-T warned that, if unstopped, Zanu-PF commissar Saviour Kasukuwere, who is also Local Government minister, would roll out similar smash-and-grab programmes in all councils under MDC-T control to destabilize the opposition party and enable Zanu-PF to win back all urban seats.
Manyenyeni was yesterday sent packing again; hardly a day after Moyo lifted an earlier suspension imposed by Kasukuwere.
This time, the government accused Manyenyeni of failing to cause an audit of council's business units.
