Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Welshman Ncube-led MDC Friday expelled three of its top officials accusing them of dining with MDC-T led by Douglas Mwonzora instead of supporting opposition leader Nelson Chamisa.<\/p>\n

The officials expelled are Shupikai Mandaza (vice-chairman), Christopher Monera (Secretary for research and policy implementation) and Munhango Musevenzo (Member of National Council).<\/p>\n

In expulsion letters seen by Bulawayo24, the trio was charged for attending a meeting called for by Mwonzora at his party headquarters on august 3 and 11 respectively.<\/p>\n

They purported to be representing MDC N led by Ncube without his approval hence their attendance was in contravening of the party constitution and were invited to appear before a disciplinary committee of which they did not turn up resulting in them being served with expulsion letters.<\/p>\n

According to Ncube MDC N is in the MDC Alliance led by Nelson Chamisa and has no intention whatsoever in getting into an alliance with MDC T led by Mwonzora.<\/p>\n

Ironically, Mandaza, who described himself as interim leader of the MDC-N, recently stated that six senior party leaders, among them Welshman Ncube and Dzivarasekwa MP Edwin Mushoriwa, who was the deputy president, saying they had ceased to be MDC-N members after aligning with Chamisa.<\/p>\n

MDC N was part of the 2017 MDC Alliance which consisted of seven political parties.<\/p>\n

There is confusion over the matter after Ncube was readmitted into the MDC at the MDC Congress held in Gweru in 2019.<\/p>\n
