MDC activists defect to Zapu

Opposition Zapu party has claimed that some members of the MDC led by Welshman Ncube in Garanyemba defected to the party after the community asked them to stand as candidates for the former liberation movement led by Dumiso Dabengwa.

Zapu held its public meeting at Garanyemba Business Centre Ward 13 in Gwanda Central over the week end.

"We also received a group of defectors from MDC-N led by the former Ward 13 councillor who has been approached by the community to stand as their preferred ward candidate in the coming elections," said Zapu.
