Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Former Marondera Central legislator Caston Matewu (MDC Alliance) claims the MDC-T which is led by Douglas Mwonzora offered him various top posts in the party to persuade him to betray Nelson Chamisa.<\/p>\n

Matewu said he realised that ZANU PF used MDC-T to recall him because, during Parliament sessions, he was exposing looting by cartels allegedly linked to the ruling party. He said:<\/p>\n

I was offered many positions in the MDC-T, but I said no I will not betray my president, Nelson Chamisa.<\/p>\n

The car was taken away from me. I lost all the Parliament benefits and salaries but at the end of the day it\u2019s not about me but the people of Marondera who need representation.<\/p>\n

You have got (Emmerson) Mnangagwa and Mwonzora in bed together, they are working hand in glove.<\/p>\n

I believe when I was recalled I was not in the standing committee, and I was not a provincial chairperson, but I found myself being recalled from Parliament yet the main people they were recalling were actually standing committee members.<\/p>\n

So, I wondered why I was recalled but then I found out it was a ZANU PF project, and they didn\u2019t want me by all means necessary in parliament so that I don\u2019t talk or expose all the shenanigans that were happening in Parliament.<\/p>\n

Matewu was recalled from Parliament by MDC-T for allegedly promoting the interests of the Nelson Chamisa-led MDC Alliance, now the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC).<\/p>\n
