Said Hwende:<\/p>\n<p>3 weeks ago we received a resignation letter from Ms Timveous which we accepted. Her major reason was that Mai Mnangagwa had promised to help her retain the vehicle she received when she was a Senator.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Chebundo has joined Zanupf from the Mwonzora Group. Political Party Membership is voluntary, we would like to thank them for the time we worked with them.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, freelance journalist Hopewell Chin\u2019ono said he warned MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa about Timveous\u2019s \u201cshallowness\u201d two years ago. Chin\u2019ono said in a Facebook post:<\/p>\n<p>Two years ago MDCA leader Nelson Chamisa and his friend Advocate Thabani Mpofu passed through my home when they were in my hood. I warned Nelson Chamisa about the crowd that bootlicked him.<\/p>\n<p>I gave Lillian Timveous as an example of people with NO ideas, but who relied entirely on publicly bootlicking the leader to stay in favour and onside.<\/p>\n<p>Today Lillian Timveous joined ZANUPF! Today I warn my brother-friend again, don\u2019t allow bootlicking as Mugabe did!<\/p>\n<p>Those who publicly bootlick you are the most dangerous and treacherous ones, as I warned Tsvangirai about James Maridadi 10 years ago!<\/p>\n<p>When politicians have no ideas, their only currency to stay close to the leader becomes bootlicking!<\/p>\n<p>She belongs to the crowd that attacked me each time I would publicly and constructively critique the MDCA! I hope Citizens are also learning!!!<\/p>\n<p>Nations are not built through blind loyalty and bootlicking but through constructive engagement!<\/p>\n<p>Lillian has been joined by Blessing Chebundo in going to ZANUPF!<\/p>\n<p>#DemLoot<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
