Matemadanda seemingly celebrated what he called the demise of the MDC Alliance and said the party is melting like a burning candle and they were not even done with what they were seemingly doing. Said Matemadanda:<\/p>\n

As we speak, MDC Alliance is going down. This is because the likes of Chamisa unscrupulously rose to power.<\/p>\n

The party (opposition) is melting like a burning candle. We are not yet through (with them); very soon we will be announcing what we call big names. They are coming back home.<\/p>\n

Matemadanda then said the recent defections were an asset to the party as they are already working:<\/p>\n

Those who are coming should work for the party. For example, Timveos has invaded Zvishavane and is doing well that side. Zvishavane is roaring.<\/p>\n

Matamadanda was speaking at the back of the recent defections of Lilian Timveos and James Makore who were members of the MDC Alliance to the ruling party Zanu PF.<\/p>\n
