I was accused of supporting Mwonzora. I told them to stop listening to rumours because they would end up going after everyone accused. After restoring me to the party [WhatsApp] group, I was removed again shortly. I did not try to protest the second time, because it seems there\u2019s a committee that is deciding these things \u2013 accusing people of being Mwonzora\u2019s.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m also being victimised because I\u2019m from Manicaland (Mwonzora is from Manicaland too).<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not with the Mwonzora faction. I\u2019m with the MDC-T left behind by Morgan Tsvangirai. As for allegiance to Nelson Chamisa as party president, I stand by the Supreme Court ruling. The Supreme Court asked that we go to Congress and that\u2019s what I support.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Makonya is one of the five legislators who have so far defied the MDC\u2019s directive to boycott parliament. The others are Kanguni, David Tekeshe, Peter Moyo, and Virginia Mafuta.<\/p>\n
In the video, David Tekeshe expresses doubt that he is still with the Nelson Chamisa faction.<\/p>\n
