I bullishly put my head on the chopping board through the prediction attached below<\/p>\n<p>Argued:<\/p>\n<p>Even sarcastically threatened to post my nudes (@M_Jay94)<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, an excitable @DMwonzora early on exonerated @mdczimbabwe by thanking them for distancing themselves from the HICC event<\/p>\n<p>What this then means is that all the chaos that ensued can not be linked to @nelsonchamisa, as per Douglas\u2019s poor chance at a jibe.<\/p>\n<p>As for Dr Khupe\u2026although she will most certainly have the last laugh\u2026she miscalculated gravely. Many moons ago, I questioned the wisdom behind abandoning her own MDC-T faction, choosing to side with the double trouble that is Mwonzora &amp; Komichi. She dug her own grave<\/p>\n<p>But more importantly, before about an hour ago, she was going out of her way rubbishing claims that money was misappropriated, more so by Tsikamutanda. In an embarrassing somersault, she thundered \u201c\u2026they are using the money they stole to rig this election..\u201dWhat money now<\/p>\n<p>She openly pointed fingers at DM, accusing him of masterminding the heist she claims transpired this evening. But perhaps she was keeping this as her joker card.More so after phoning the wrong @adv_fulcrum. What business does ED\u2019s Tabani have with her &amp; her party Congress?<\/p>\n<p>Here is what\u2019s likely to happen. Mwonzora was poised to win this shambolic poll. DM\u2019s backers will politically resist attempts to have it nullified. Dr Khupe will successfully have this result set aside. DM\u2019s faction will start experiencing the wrath of State systems\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>The MDC-T will split. Before this formally happens, the allegations against DM will resurface The results will be successfully nullified &amp; Mwonzora will be arrested &amp; suspended, both for \u201cthe rigging\u201d &amp; the alleged stolen funds. Khupe will eventually win at some 2021 EOC<\/p>\n<p>I paused a bit and refreshed my twitter feed. Apparently,Dr Khupe has already \u201csuspended Mwonzora\u201d\u2026&amp; she has the backing of Baba Abrahama. Sekuru Mudzuri left HICC much earlier<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s now Zanu-Khupe-Komichi-Mudzuri vs Mwonzora. The latter\u2019s backers should be very worried.<\/p>\n<p>Again, Sr Khupe has promised to pursue the issue concerning the stolen money. She will do this with a straight face regardless of how she exonerated Mwonzora earlier today. It doesn\u2019t matter whether she has any case or not It\u2019s politics &amp; her victory matters to the State.<\/p>\n<p>It is also quite ironic, that the same @ShakespeareMuk1 who DM &amp; Khupe accused of attempting to burn them in a hut, at the instigation of @nelsonchamisa (never mind that no report was made), was again at the center of MDC-T skirmishes today. Indeed a festive of absurdities.<\/p>\n<p>Has @nelsonchamisa been vindicated? Whose violent mobs were calling Dr Khupe \u201chure\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not in any party structures 2 play petty party politics as I tweet these boring threads,I don\u2019t feel smart Can you claim to be wise for predicting mud after some heavy rains? enkosi!<\/p>\n<p>Douglas Mwonzora won the party Presidency against Khupe yesterday and both parties have not issued a statement on the way forward.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Laque Davis Twitter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
