Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Citizens\u2019 Coalition for Change (CCC) youths attempted to block former MDC-T deputy president Thokozani Khupe from attending a CCC Bulawayo provincial assembly meeting on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The CCC youths barred Khupe from attending the meeting which was addressed by the opposition party\u2019s leader, Nelson Chamisa, at McDonald Hall in Bulawayo, accusing her of being a sellout. One of the youths said:<\/p>\n

Khupe, you are not welcome here. All along you were dining and wining with (President Emmerson) Mnangagwa, busy plotting the destruction our party.<\/p>\n

You even recalled from parliament some of our leaders whom you want to meet today. Are you not ashamed of what you did?<\/p>\n

Chamisa rebuked the youths for their intolerance, saying he did not invite Khupe to the meeting but as a citizen, she had a right to attend the meeting. Said Chamisa:<\/p>\n

I am not a leader of a violent people; I am not a leader of a violent community and I will never accept violence.<\/p>\n

This is why I left MDC to form a peaceful organisation with God-fearing supporters.<\/p>\n

I do not want this coalition to resemble a Mnangagwa organisation or even that of Mugabe.<\/p>\n

I am not happy with those youths who are blocking Khupe. I did not invite her, but she has the right, as a citizen, to be in this meeting.<\/p>\n

Khupe later tweeted that she had attended her \u201cfirst meeting as a CCC member addressed by President Chamisa in Bulawayo Macdonald Hall\u201d.<\/p>\n

Last month Khupe endorsed Chamisa and CCC candidates ahead of the 26 March by- elections.<\/p>\n

CCC leadership is divided on whether to accept Khupe as a member due to her former close association with President Emmerson Mnangagwa when she was a member of the Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD).<\/p>\n
